Am looking at this site Alateen... hope & help for young people and some other links have been suggested to me, such as Kids Helpline - 1800 55 1800

My local library also found some books for me, including 'The Grief Book - Strategies for Young People', by Elizabeth Vercoe and Kerry Abramowski.

I will read it first myself and see what may be helpful, am a bit concerned that if I give it to him to just read by himself it may be all a bit much for him to process.

I had a very difficult time as an adolescent and am glad that these days there are more resources available and I can already see that at a comparative age, he has much more awareness than I did of certain things, but still some things to work on.

I am not his primary caregiver - my parents are, but I am involved and have some community links, the Internet knowledge, etc. I don't have my own kids, never foresaw having any, so it's been an adjustment but I do want to be there for him now.
