Silver Medal Winner in the Grief/Grieving category of the 2015
Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards A unique
collection of 33 narratives by bereaved students and young adults,
this books aims to help young adults who are grieving and provide
guidance for those who seek to support them. Grieving the death of
a loved one is difficult at any age, but it can be particularly
difficult during college and young adulthood. From developing a
sense of identity to living away from family and adjusting to life
on and off campus, college students and young adults face a unique
set of issues. These issues often make it difficult for young
adults to talk about their loss, leading to a sense of isolation,
different-ness and a pressure to pretend that everything is OK. The
narratives included in this book are honest, engaging and
heartfelt, and they help other students and young people know that
they are not alone and that there are others who 'get' what they
are going through. The narratives are usefully divided by themes,
such as isolation, forced maturity and life transition challenges,
and include commentary by the authors on grief responses and coping
strategies. Each section also ends with helpful questions for
reflection. Inspired by the experiences of Dr. Fajgenbaum losing
his mother during college and Dr. Servaty-Seib dedicating her
career to college student bereavement, this book will be a lifeline
for students and young adults who have lost a loved one. It will
also be of immeasurable value to counselors, college
administrators, grief professionals and parents.
