The Forgotten Mourners: Sibling Survivors of Suicide

Alone in the Shadows of Grief

This book is meant for anyone who has lost a brother or sister to suicide - the forgotten mourners - and those who want to provide them support. Any loss is difficult, but a loss to suicide is heightened because of the helplessness and confusion surrounding it.

A sibling loss to suicide is even more unique because the sibling(s) left behind are often forgotten â€“ mourning the loss of their brother or sister alone in the shadows of their parentsâ€™ grief.

This book discusses some of the challenges sibling survivors of suicide will face, both individually and as a family unit, including:

-- What can I expect during the grieving
process as a sibling survivor of suicide?
-- How can I set boundaries to take care of
myself?
-- Will my relationship with my parents change?
-- How do I answer questions about my now-departed sibling?
-- What can I do to get through the holidays and anniversaries?
-- How do I keep my brother or sister alive in my life, without him or her physically
present?

These questions and more are answered directly from the authorâ€™s experiences following the loss of her eighteen year-old brother to suicide in November 2001. Hopefully, her experiences will give sibling survivors of suicide a bit of strength, hope, and peace in navigating the long road to healing ahead.
