Episode description
Andrea and Rebecca interview author, Annie Sklaver Orenstein about her recently released her book Always a Sibling, published by Hachette Go.
After her brother was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan, Annie was heartbroken. Standing in the grief section of her local bookstore, she searched for guides on how to work through her grief as a mourning sibling—and found nothing. More than 4 million American adults each year will lose a sibling, yet there isn't a modern resource guide available that speaks directly to this type of grief that at times can be overshadowed by grieving parents and spouses and made even more difficult by the complexities of sibling dynamics.
In ALWAYS A SIBLING: The Forgotten Mourner's Guide to Grief, Annie uses her own story and those of others to create the empathic, thoughtful, practical resource that she sought.
