<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Honorable Mention, Inspirational Category</strong></p><p><strong>20th Annual Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Awards</strong> </p><p><em>"This book is invaluable for its brevity, wealth of information, and the emotional account of the author's experience. She ends the book on a hopeful note, acknowledging that although she will always miss her brother, she will also always hold him close to her, in her heart."</em></p><p><em>-- Rheta Van Winkle, BookLoons Reviews, 2013</em></p><p>This book is meant for anyone who has lost a brother or sister to suicide - and those who want to support them. Any loss is difficult, but a loss to suicide is heightened because of the helplessness and confusion surrounding it. A sibling loss to suicide is even more unique because the sibling(s) left behind are often forgotten - mourning the loss of their brother or sister alone in the shadows of their parents' grief. </p><p>This book discusses some of the distinct challenges sibling survivors of suicide face, such as: </p><p>§ What can I expect during the grieving process as a sibling survivor of suicide?</p><p>§ How can I take care of myself?</p><p>§ How do I answer questions about my now-departed sibling?</p><p>§ What can I do to get through the holidays and anniversaries?</p><p>§ How do I keep my brother or sister alive in my life, without him or her<em> </em>physically present?</p><p>Magdaline answers these questions and more directly from her experience following the loss of her 18 year-old brother, John, to suicide in November 2001. Hopefully, her story will give readers a small piece of strength, faith, and peace in navigating the long road to healing ahead. </p>
