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.
