An extremely well-written, compassionate guide for the millions of people who come face to face with a death in their own families

Recovering from the Loss of a Sibling is the first guide dedicated to those who have lost a brother or sister, and presents practical ways they can take the necessary steps toward recovering from their devastating loss.
