Teenagers process grief more like adults, experiencing anger and sadness as they begin to cope. Don’t feel disappointed if it seems that they may want to talk more to their friends than parents, this is normal and can help them share their feelings and heal. Because their grief is similar to that of an adult, a teenager may take longer to recover from a loss than a younger child. Questions may come up about morality and vulnerability and your role is to empathize with them, listen to their concerns and remind them that their feelings are normal, and things will get better with time.
