ABSTRACT
Given the literally hundreds of resources one could use to draw a broad-brushed perspective of a child’s or adolescent’s grief, and given the very limited number of pages available to address this extensive knowledge base, I have chosen to minimize the use of specific citations in this chapter. I will use that strategy in those cases where a particular finding has been cited so often that it is now perceived as common knowledge. However, specific references will be used for either quotations or in instances where I feel a concept can be more clearly tied to a particular author or researcher. Further, at the end of this chapter, you will find reference to three books that discuss childhood and adolescent bereavement in more depth and include extensive citations.
