Here at Anam Cara, we recognise that supporting parents after bereavement means supporting the whole family. Siblings are sometimes called ‘the forgotten mourners,’ as the specifics of this grief can sometimes be lost to the world. Children of all ages, even grown children, will sometimes try to protect their parents or other family members from their grief, adding additional complexity to their loss.
To support siblings, parents, family members, and professionals, our staff have gathered a short reading list of trusted books for siblings of all ages to provide guidance and that most powerful affirmation: you are not alone.
Do you have any books that have helped you better understand your own grief, or the grief of someone else in your family? Drop your recommendations below!
