Summary: Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn's The Empty Room is a very welcome addition to the scant literature on sibling loss. In telling her own story, as well as the stories of those she interviewed for the book, DeVita-Raeburn draws us into the experience of both children and adults who have lost a brother or sister. It amazes me that sibling loss continues to go unrecognized as the potentially life-changing event that it is. Here's a book that acknowledges that pain and will help survivors begin to heal.
"Led by death educator and grief counselor Dr. Alan Wolfelt, we are an organization dedicated to helping people who are grieving and those who care for them. Perhaps someone you love has died, or you want to help a grieving friend or family member. Or maybe you are a professional or volunteer grief caregiver. Either way, we are here to offer resources and understanding. Thank you for visiting. We hope to meet you in person one day."
"Centering was founded in 1977 by Joy and Dr. Marvin Johnson. Centering started with nine little coloring books for hospitalized children and two workshop offerings for nurses and families. In response to the need for support by families and caregivers while facing their grief experience we developed many new resources. Today we have over 500 grief resources for children and adults. Centering continues to provide educational resources and bookstore for caregivers and families."
"We offer exceptional materials to people of all ages to help them grow through the losses they experience in life. We honor people of various beliefs and strive to be sensitive to the differences and similarities in their meaning-making process. Our mailorder collection offers hope but it will never deny that the journey through grief may be painful and hard to bear. We offer information on our materials to all that ask. As a company and as individuals we strive to practice kindness, compassion and peaceful action."
