Joyful Courage for Parenting Teens

Eps 551: Helping teens cope with grief with Clarissa Moll


Listen Later

My guest today is Clarissa Moll, and she’s here today to talk about helping teens cope with grief. Clarissa shares her story and what led her to griefwork. We discuss how teens grieve and what your child(ren) want and need to know during loss. Clarissa offers us tips around relationship building and starting tough conversations with our adolescents. We end our conversation talking about spirituality in grief. 


Takeaways from the show

  • Teens don’t have a lot of resources around grief 
  • Adolescents don’t grieve like children or adults, and everyone grieves differently 
  • Asking your child what it’s like to be a grieving teenager 
  • Needing our teen’s guidance into what they need from us 
  • When, what, and how much to share with your child 
  • Being the gatekeeper for your family 
  • The importance of one trusted adult and building a community of support 
  • Wanting to say the “right thing” while not layering on additional sadness 
  • “Be a good question asker, not a good advice giver” 
  • Spirituality in grief
