I Wish Someone Would Have Told My Friends: For Friends of Teens Who Have Lost a Parent or Sibling

I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me is a unique publication that offers support and education to Jewish teens who have lost a parent. Divided into 96 daily readings, plus an addendum with beautiful poems, the book is based on careful research and interviews with many individuals who experienced the loss of a parent during their childhood or teen years.

When a teen experiences the loss of a close relative, so many aspects of their lives are affected. I Wish Someone Would Have Told My Friends helps other teens recognize the challenges and emotions of their friends who have suffered a loss and empowers them to offer appropriate support and encouragement.

Written by seasoned author Miriam Ribiat, this booklet addresses both the loss of a parent and the loss of a sibling and includes true-to-life scenarios and practical guidance. It can be shared by bereaved teens, parents and educators with other teens to encourage sensitivity and understanding
