There is useful information and resources presented in this book, but I think the audiobook format doesn’t serve the content well. In addition, many of the chapters are repetitive in the content it presents. The timing feels off on the narration, and the narrator is so perky and upbeat as to be off-putting for someone who is still pretty early on in their grief journey.
What I appreciated about this book compared to all the other grief books I’ve read or listened to was the part dealing with relationships and grief, since most other books focus on the individual. It was helpful to hear the perspective of a group of people grieving the death of the same person but in different ways, which can impact family and friend dynamics; it’s not just that everyone has their own grief journey.
Another critique: I think the accompanying workbook was pitched as a useful tool about 10-20 times throughout the book, where it felt like the book was essentially an ad for the workbook.

After the unexpected passing of my young adult son, I searched for resources to help support his sister, my daughter, through our new and unimaginable circumstances. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of books on grieving the loss of an adult sibling. This book is one of the few I found and it is well written. I read it in one day and it could easily be re-read in it's entirety or only specific chapters s needed. There is also a companion workbook that I ordered after I finished the book (it is referenced several times in the book). There is excellent and heartfelt information as well as suggested tools and resources. I recommend this book to parents to read and share with their surviving adult child/children and for friends or other family members who want to support someone who has experienced adult sibling loss.
