The Other Side of This: The Messy Truth About Grief For Teens

Grief doesn’t wait until you’re ready.

It shows up in the middle of class, at the lunch table, in the back seat of a car, and in all the ordinary places where life is supposed to feel normal.

If you’ve lost someone and felt completely alone in it, like nobody around you really gets it, like you’re supposed to be “over it” by now, or like you don’t even know what you’re feeling, this book is for you.

The Other Side of This isn’t a textbook. It’s not a list of stages to check off or a roadmap that promises to fix everything.

It’s the messy, honest truth about what grief actually feels like when you’re a teenager, and what it can look like to keep going when life has changed in ways you never asked for.

You’re allowed to feel everything you’re feeling. You’re allowed to not have it figured out. And you don’t have to go through this alone.

Written by grief coach and author Robert DelFave, who lost his father at fourteen and his mother in his mid-twenties, this book is for every teen navigating loss and wondering if it ever gets better.

Not all at once.

But it can.

And this book will walk with you.
