Dear Teenagers

Understanding Grief

Losing someone you care about is one of the hardest parts of being human. Grief is a complex experience that evokes a wide range of emotions. In this Dear Teenagers video, Dr. Lisa Damour offers guidance to teenagers who are navigating bereavement.

You can show this Dear Teenagers video to your teen, view it alongside them, or use it for guidance on how to talk with them about the death of someone close.
