"Coral has written a highly relevant, much-needed book for the adolescent population. Her writing connects strongly with the youth of today challenged by their own grief and loss. Her approach, backed by strong, current research in the field, provides an individualized method for understanding and dealing with the very real physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of these difficult and potentially destabilizing life experiences. Her use of a holistic mind-body framework is presented in a truly accessible way. The important information on the adolescent brain and body; how these can be affected by our life experiences; and tools for managing these are well organized. This book offers teens compassionate understanding of--and the tools to work through--their unique experiences, not only for managing the loss of a loved one, but also for a variety of life stressors faced by our developing teens today."
--Wendy L. Baker, MSW, LICSW, cofounder of Family Circle Counseling in St. Paul, MN, adjunct faculty member at University of St. Thomas, and educator and consultant in areas of attachment, trauma, and adoption
"Grief Recovery for Teens is a comprehensive resource offering delicate balance between clear wisdom, concrete activities, and heartfelt stories. Coral covers the impact on mind, body, and heart during the grief experience as she helps teens make the adjustment toward understanding their lives after a death. Her writing is compassionate, informative, and practical. Grief Recovery for Teens reads as the wise advice of a true friend, and opens the reader to the honest and forthright conversations needed after a death."
--Peter Willig, LMFT, FT, clinical director and COO of the Children's Bereavement Center; licensed marriage and family therapist; and fellow in thanatology with over twenty-five years of clinical experience
