DeVita-Raeburn, Elizabeth

The Empty Room - Understanding Sibling Loss - 2004

In this book, DeVita-Raeburn recollects life with her older brother Ted, who died when she was fourteen. She examines the often neglected impact of the death of a sibling, not only from her point of view, but also through the evocative narratives of the hundreds of people she interviewed about this type of loss. She gives us a better understanding as well as some tools for healing from this grief.
