	The Dying and the Bereaved Teenager
	Edited by John Morgan, PhD

Of course, death is a fact of life that all of us must confront at one time or another, but learning to deal with it is no easy task for anyone, regardless of age. It can be an especially difficult experience for young people and sadly, the pain of loss, the death or suicide of a loved one or friend have become common events in the lives of today's teenagers. Specifically, the recent rash of school murders by teenagers and the continued high rate of teenage suicide have left many adolescents frightened, troubled, confused — and in need of assistance. In an attempt to help young people deal with these all-too-common events, The Dying and the Bereaved Teenager provides practical and thoughtful guidance, making it a most highly regarded resource by psychologists, teachers, school administrators and counselors.
