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 navigating transitions.

Looking for more? Parents can watch the Untangling Family Life video “Teens and Grief with Dr. Lisa Ramirez” here.

The advice provided here by Dr. Damour and the resources shared by her AI-powered librarian, Rosalie, will not and do not constitute - or serve as a substitute for - professional psychological treatment, therapy, or other types of professional advice or intervention. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being, consult a physician or mental health professional.
