| Josh Keogh was only 15 when his dad died of liver cancer. This program, filmed over the course of the year following his father’s death, candidly illustrates what it’s like for a teenager to deal with the loss of a parent. Josh’s feelings of blame, anger, and isolation, so typical to the grieving process, are deftly captured, as is the poignancy of those first holidays and special times celebrated in the absence of a loved one. This insightful documentary is an indispensable tool for opening a dialogue on dying and grief—and for helping students move forward after a death in the family. Some language may be offensive.
