Yet the death of an adult sibling is one of the most disenfranchised losses we can experience. Dr. T.J. Wray, who wrote Surviving the Death of a Sibling: Living Through Grief When an Adult Brother or Sister Dies, gives us important information ~ from research as well as her own experience ~ on what surviving siblings feel, what they need and how they can be helped.
