Summary

Those who experience the death of a brother or sister in childhood face unique, long-lasting challenges in coming to terms with their loss. Having spent fifteen years researching the area of sibling bereavement in addition to clinical experience working with bereaved children and their families, the author has produced a book which synthesizes, integrates, refines, and expands upon the current information available on sibling bereavement.
