Letters from a Friend

Surviving the death of a brother or sister is not a phase of life that eventually passes. Sibling survival is a life-long achievement. This guide recognizes this and celebrates not only the life of the brother or sister who has died but the lives and spirits of their sibling survivors.

This unique workbook is a comprehensive compilation of therapeutic activities developed to address the needs and issues of children and adolescents following the death of a brother or sister. The workbook is organized into distinct topic-specific sections relating to sibling hospitalisation, illness, injury, and death. Games, creative writing, and drawing exercises offer opportunities to share feelings and relay experiences in a non-threatening format.. Letters from a Friend may be used by children or teens independently to create a personal journal of their bereavement and coping processes as well as a chronicle of their lives as surviving siblings.
