Publisher's Synopsis
Your world has changed. Your sibling is missing.
How do you do this? What does this mean? Who are you now? What's next?
Grieving the Write Way for Siblings was written to help.
Multiple award-winning author, speaker, and grief specialist Gary Roe experienced multiple, devastating losses in childhood.
Gary says, "By the time I was a teenager, I was slogging through each day carrying a massive amount of grief. Then my dad dropped in front of me of a heart attack. He was a single father and my one functional parent. When this lightning bolt struck, I thought my life was over."
Gary picked up a pen and started writing. The next day, he wrote some more.
"I found myself emoting as I wrote. Sadness, confusion, anger, fear, anxiety, and guilt spewed out of me, one word at a time. I felt lousy, but expressing what was inside me felt good and relieving."
Unfortunately, the losses just kept coming. And Gary kept writing.
When Gary's older brother, his only sibling, died recently, he once again went to writing.
Now Gary gives grieving siblings a gift - this unique grief workbook born of his personal and professional experience. Writing can be powerful and effective tool to help you recover from this painful loss.
