1. Introduction. 2. The physicality of death. 3. Courage and death. 4. Death as an authority-figure. 5. The fear of not existing. 6. Attachment and death. 7. Unprotected sex. 8. Cock-up or conspiracy. 9. Morality and death. 10. The problem of personal responsibility. References. Index.
The book is a useful read for helping professionals and parents. The nuances of severe adolescent grief and suffering are effectively discussed. The narrative is real-world and compelling, not sugar-coated as some books are when addressing the complex issues of death and existential pain.
