The emotional effect of losing a brother or sister can result in
severe trauma for a child. Many children find it difficult to mourn
a lost sibling, and parents can have a hard time helping their
children while they themselves are mourning. Written from personal
experience, this book insists that there is no `right' way for
parents to behave towards surviving children. It looks at the many
and various effects of sibling bereavement as it bears upon the
whole family: the repercussions of lack of support; surviving
children who act as comforters to their parents; guilt; projections
of anger; unresolved conflicts; consequent family relationships;
and children who can't or won't mourn. The author uses real-life
case studies to illustrate her points, and clarification of the
issues involved is provided throughout by the views of an
experienced psychologist who has worked with disturbed children.
While remaining non-prescriptive, the book is a guide to achieving
a `healthy' mourning process, enabling individuals to move forward,
even though life can never be the same again. Ann Farrant is a
freelance journalist, writer and researcher. She has worked in many
branches of the media - newspaper, magazines and BBC Television. In
the 1970s she was a founder member of Cruse Bereavement Care in
Norwich; she has also worked as a volunteer fund-raiser for the
children's charity UNICEF.
