Therapy can help your teen through a major loss.
Symptoms of Grief:
Has your teen suffered a significant loss? Does their pain and sorrow seem overwhelming? Does it feel even your best efforts to comfort your teenager aren’t enough? Do you notice your teen withdrawing? Turning down social activities? Often angry? Is your teen experiencing disrupted sleep since their loss?
What is grief?
Grief is the complex emotions that follow a serious loss. Loss is often the death of a loved one but can also be the loss of something central to your teen’s sense of security and identity. While grief is a normal (yet painful) human experience, sometimes it turns into complicated grief. This can last far longer than normal grief, and ultimately lead to Major Depressive Disorder.
