Product Information

This exceptionally well written book speaks both to teens and for teens. It presents information and comfort in easy to read terms and in a language that will resonate with teen readers. It is a hard loss to face, the death of a brother or sister. For the survivors everything has changed, the world of family and place may feel shaky and foreign. The Death of A Brother or Sister does not candy coat the challenges of this great loss, but it does make clear inroads into normalizing the grief experience as it may be felt by siblings and parents.

This comprehensive book also provides insight into reactions that can occur when sudden, tragic deaths occur, and talks about the impact a sibling's death can have even if the death occurred when the surviving child was very young. A useful glossary and a chapter on finding additional help and resources rounds out the caring intentions of this fine book.
