Activities for Teens
Being a grieving teen can be tough. You’re not a child anymore, but you’re not quite an adult yet, either. Your grief is as unique as you are.
We hope it’s a comfort to know that there are other teens who are grieving, too, and although everyone is different, there are common threads that connect us in our grief.
Check out these activities for grieving teens:
