Pastor Paul answers a grieving teen. That Help Projects honoring the memory of a loved one can help restore normalcy to a teen's life.
Simple rituals can be helpful in recovering from a painful loss such as the death of a friend.

And because they were freshmen just starting out in the great adventure of high school, the loss of their friend came as a very rude shock.
