This book is aimed at teenagers whose friend or relative has died. It explains what to expect when you lose someone you love. It also includes a journal section where they can record their memories of the person who has died, their feelings about loss, and hopes for the future.

This book discusses many topics around suicide in very helpful ways. It
includes questions people may ask about God but the writers are careful not to

need to talk to a clergy person with whom they feel comfortable.
