Book Review


The year my brother died, I forgot how to breathe, and no one seemed to notice. After all, it was only my brother; I should get over it.” When T.J. Wray lost her 43-year-old brother, she realized that the death of a sibling is not often acknowledged and that there is little information available to help cope with the loss of an adult sibling. That is what prompted Wray, a Professor of Religious and Theological Studies at Salve Regina University in Rhode Island, to write about her experience with losing her adult brother. Her own research confirmed that sibling loss has been ignored and is often considered insignificant in the eyes of others.

In fact, winter starts on the shortest day of the year. You are likely to get up for school when it’s dark outside and go to bed when it’s dark. As winter moves along and spring gets closer adults may say, “Now the days are getting longer,” but it doesn’t seem like they are.  It’s hard to notice the sun shining longer when your toes are freezing.

Who Did You Lose?


​In our society, it is common for a grieving person to be asked: Who did you lose?  However, the reaction of those asking can lead the bereaved individual to feel as if their loss does not qualify because it does not fall under the “normal” category of what society considers a significant loss.
