The Broken Egg: A Story to Help Children Cope With the Loss of a Younger Sibling

by Joe Sutherland, Shailyn Sutherland (Illustrator)

"The Broken Egg" was written in memory of our own son and baby brother Graidan Lane. Graidan was only five days old when he went home to heaven due to a rare lung condition. It's hard as an adult to process all the emotions that go along with the death of a baby, it's even harder for little ones to understand. Hopefully this story can help big brothers and sisters understand that we may not get to hold our little "eggs" or bring them home with us, but that doesn't mean we can't love them and keep them with us forever in our hearts.
