Among the topics covered are what happens after death, the importance of a funeral or memorial service, preparation for the service, going back to school after a loved one dies, the typical signs of grief for teens, understanding emotions, new responsibilities, various kinds of deaths (grandparent, parent, sibling, friend, accident, suicide, military, etc.), how they can help themselves during the healing process, and cyber grieving and how the Internet can help keep the memory of a loved one alive.
