Surviving the Death of a Sibling

Living Through Grief When an Adult Brother or Sister Dies

By Dr. T.J. Wray
Current Edition

★★★★★ 4.7 out of 5 · 927 Amazon ratings

When T.J. Wray lost her 43-year-old brother, her grief was deep and enduring — and, she soon discovered, not fully acknowledged. Surviving siblings are often made to feel as if their grief is somehow unwarranted.

This book helps adults who have lost a brother or sister realize they are not alone in their struggle, and teaches them to understand the unique stages of their grieving process, offering practical and prescriptive advice for dealing with each stage.

“Insightful, consoling, and filled with helpful, proactive steps… a must read for every surviving sibling.”
— Tom Golden LCSW, author of Swallowed by a Snake
