What can you say when a friend or classmate is grieving? What is actually helpful to that person? A group of 16-20 year olds who have all been in this situation talk candidly about what they experienced and the meaningful yet simple things you can do to support someone else.

Lewis, A Manual for Heartache by Cathy Rentzenbrink, Hope Bereavement Support, The Good Grief Trust, Let's Talk About Loss, Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner, George Shelley: Learning to Grieve (BBC), Kooth, Why Has Nobody Told Me This Before? by Julie Smith, It's OK That You're Not OK: Meeting Grief and Loss in a Culture That Doesn't Understand by Megan Devine, and Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter.
