A death in the family: is one of the most horrible eperiences one can have.
"...The grip sibling death has on the survivors' lives reaches so far into the future, few have been able to extricate themselves from the suffocating web to share the grief & verbalize the unthinkable. Children grieve in the same way they laugh and love - in a manner which is uncontrollable, unconditional, and often unending."
Judith Kovalski, M.A., M.S.W.
"...For those who have lost a sibling... Prince reveals the lifelong process of healing. She helps us realize that love of another person transcends all space & time & shapes our lives long after the event of physical death."
"It is tough reading and it is honest reading. It is a book that will keep you spellbound...The book is the diary of a woman bereaved, and how the dynamics of misguided grief, strong family values often expressed in denial and conflict, and the long term effects of mourning denied, and thus become complicated, that the author experienced. We see the strong values of culture as a compromiser, the differences afforded expressions of grief because of thenature of the relationship or the age/generation of the mourner, expressions of sorrow rooted in the inability to find a meaningful relationship, sexual wanderings in hopes of "curing" the pain, and, in many ways, one of the most graphic expressions of the real challenges of sibling loss as they emerge in the child and often do not find expression and relief until well into adult life."
