Understanding, Acceptance, Validation and Peace
I lost my older brother Jose in October of 2002 after a 3 month battle with a brain tumor. The shock that such a healthy, athletic, and fit man of 46, in the prime of his life would be so cruely taken away so quickly from his two girls and family was devestating. The realization that no one really comprehends the depth of this loss to his little brother (33) at the time, who looked up to him his whole life, was disheartening UNTIL Ms. Wray's book. I found this book spoke to my heart and understood my deep sense of loss. I found myself underlining passages upon passages where it felt that the personal stories in the book captured feelings that I've gone through during my brother's illness and since his passing. The comfort that this book has provided was most welcome. I know reading this book has helped to begin healing what is very much a recent and profound wound. Grief is a process they say -- with a "disenfranchised loss" of a dear brother or sister, this book is a wonderful aid on the road to healing and hopefully, one day, peace.

An excellent book to go for comfort
My eldest brother died a number of years ago in a very tragic accident, and I still feel pain every day when I wake up. My friend found this book and gave it to me to help ease the pain and depression. I read the first review by Devon Hanahan and I agree 100-percent. Ms. Wray writes in a style that makes you feel that she is sitting right next to you reading the book aloud. Nobody can ever totally get over the death of someone so close as a sibling, but Ms. Wray's book makes a huge difference.

No longer alone
I live far away from my family and had no one to share my grief with when my sister died. After reading this book I no longer felt so alone with my pain. It felt like the author took my hand and helped me understand all that I was feeling. Each page was a hug. The writing style is warm and conversational and the content is amazingly pertinent to every nuance of feeling. I wish this book had been available when I experienced the loss. Similar Products
