Exploring “If Only” Statements and “What If” Questions When Someone Dies (Teens)

Exploring “what if” questions and “if only” statements can be an important way for teens to process grief. While this may seem to some that teens are trying to “re-write” the past with these questions, in fact voicing these questions helps them express and understand the emotions connected with their loss. Exploring these questions can help facilitate the eventual acceptance of the loss and stimulate the healing process. (0723. grief, loss, death)
