Loss is experienced at some point in all of our lives, and the best way to come to terms with it is to try to better understand our feelings.
For teens, experiencing death and loss can be expecially difficult. The teenage years are a time for personal growth and discovery. When death or loss happens, the teen's life becomes more complex.
Through explanation and example, the Giddens help explain loss, grieving and mourning, and then they illustrate how diverse reactions can be. Coming to terms with grief is a focal point of this book.
The Giddens offer many resources for more information and help.
This book deals with a difficult subject in a matter of fact way which can help teens cope with death and loss.

Allen Carr's smoking addiction became the source of his quitting, and as a result, developing "EASYWAY", an easy way to quit smoking. According to Carr "FEAR" is what prevents people from quitting. Conquer the fear and you, too, can become a ex-smoker.
Carr answers questions like will I miss the cigarette? Will it be hard for me? What am I giving up? He discusses these and other factors involved in one's decision to quit smoking, including health, energy, wealth, peace of mind, confidence, courage, self-respect, happiness and freedom. To be free of smoking one must understand the emotional, mental and physical aspects that need to be dealt with in order to overcome the addiction.
Carr's method has helped millions of people to stop smoking, perhaps proving just how easy it is to quit smoking using his "EASYWAY".
