Teenage Friend Who Is Dealing With Grief

[Lendy]

My husband and I help in the youth group at our church. Last night after our time together, a teenage girl came up to me and asked to talk. We went to a side room, and she begain to tell me what she was going through.

About a month ago, a male cousin of hers committed suicide. She is having a hard time dealing with it and doesn't know what to do. Her parents don't want to talk about it. She's begining to push her friends away. She is so angry and confused.

I wasn't sure what to tell her. So I prayed with her and told her I would continue.

Please pray for her. Her name is Shannon.

Please help Shannon to contact a local grief counselor and get her some help. There are many groups for teens and groups including compassionate friends.

Prayers for her going out.
