How To Help
“I tried to talk to various people but I couldn’t relate to anyone” Most of the help offered to grieving teenagers by adults involves talking. This is something most teens find very hard to do, especially with someone they do not know. The young people that we work with at Child Bereavement UK tell us that they prefer support from adults they already know and trust. Taking part in an activity helps a teenager to feel less pressurised into talking. Just being with an adult who they know cares is sometimes enough. When ready, they might start a conversation about what has happened, but don’t expect it. In our experience, other things that work include being with other bereaved people the same age, doing something creative such as a memory collage cut of magazines, making a short film about what helps, using a box of buttons to talk about important people, or simply taking the dog for a walk.
Walking (like when doing field service) helps to clear the mind.

Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey tells Fortune that he prefers the outdoors. He adds, “If I’m with a friend we have our best conversations while walking.”
According to research from Stanford University, walking boosts creative thinking by an average of 60 %.

When the tears start to flow - turn them from tears of sorrow to tears of joy by closing our eyes and picturing the exact moment she will be in your arms again! Think about how that will feel and what you will say to each other and how you will both praise Jehovah for his wonderful gift! Try not to think about her leaving as much as welcoming her back! Look forward with anticipation to what you will both have. (i like to think that my mother is on a long trip in Europe even though she died 20 years ago, because she always wanted to travel. Someday she will come home)
