ABSTRACT
Researchers today consider childhood bereavement one of the most traumatic experiences that can befall a child. Nevertheless, most models of bereavement currently limit themselves to dealing with adult grief and primarily explores the internal processes associated with recovery. Based on a study which conducted focus groups with 39 Danish adolescents (aged 9–17), this article presents The Model of Loss Navigation in Adolescence. Centered on the three factors—Being Different, Being in Control, and Being in Grief—the model highlight the social conventions children have to navigate and how these influences both their day-to-day lives and their road to recovery.
