Hello, my daughter is 16 years old and she is in a lot of pain. Her grief reaction is related to her grandfather’s (my husband’s father) death. She loved him a lot and it seems to me that she cannot deal with the fact he is gone. On the other hand, I feel helpless, how can I subdue adolescent’s sorrow?
It is hard thing for a young person to deal with the concept of death. She is in a period of life when she would like to learn and experience everything. This means that having a close family member die is something really terrifying for her. I don’t think there is much you can do, just be there for her, sooner or later she will ask for your comfort.
