This excellent resource book helps support teens who are swept up in a complicated turmoil of confused emotions that hamper healing and survivorship motivated by terminal illness or the death of a loved one. The chapters and passages assist readers in understanding cultural rituals and religious beliefs regarding death. Most young people face the pain of losing a pet early in life. However, the vigor of youth sometimes promotes a sense of immortality until they must grieve the loss of a friend or family member. This easy-to-read book presents information in a compassionate and logical way; the content offers current information that relates to teen viewpoints. Visuals illustrate concepts and build bridges to balance the author's fundamental purpose and premise. Special boxes highlight additional facts and website information provides additional support. The book also includes a glossary of terms. Dealing with Death delivers outstanding reading for teachers, school counselors, parents, and teen populations. It is highly recommended for high school, community college, and university libraries. * American Reference Books Annual *
