New Grief Book Helps Teenagers and Young Adults Cope with the Death of Their Parent

Coping with Parental Death: Insights and Tips for Teenagers is a new book by author Michelle Shreeve that can help today's youth and their families navigate losing a parent at a young age.

Over one million children sadly just lost a parent globally to the Covid-19 pandemic alone. That's not even including the 2.5 million children who lost a parent in the United States by the time they turned 18 years old before the Covid-19 pandemic began due to various other causes. Help is needed to guide these children with the challenges that happen, the feelings they'll experience, and how life changes after their parent dies.

The book discusses the first year milestones, tips about seeking counseling, secondary losses, and even features lists compiled of book and movie fictional character references that can provide relatable insight into youth's own personal losses.

This is author Michelle Shreeve's second book traditionally published about the topic of parental death. Her first book, Parental Death: The Ultimate Teen Guide was published in 2018.

Coping with Parental Death: Insights and Tips for Teenagers is published by Rowman & Littlefield and has a July 13, 2022 release date. (ISBN: 978-1-5381-5489-2)
