5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, January 12, 2000

This review is from: Dancing in the Dark: A Sister Grieves (Paperback)

I ordered this book prior to my sister's passing. After she passed away and we returned home, the book was waiting for me. It touched my soul. The author feels the way I do at such a time of grief. She walks you through each stage and truely understands what I am going through. Her insight is from the heart. Her story is my story except that my sibling died of cancer. I would recommend this book to any one who has lost an adult sibling. There aren't to many books relating to the death of an adult sibling.

1.0 out of 5 stars grim, August 16, 2001

This review is from: Dancing in the Dark: A Sister Grieves (Paperback)

I am sorry to write a bad review but the book is very depressing,dark and grim. The poetry in it is gruesume. I feel very sorry for the author,who had a tragic loss of her brother and hope she is coping better now. Perhaps someone in a like state of mind will appreciate the book better than I. My losses this year were a father to cancer and a sister to cancer.Maybe sudden death is responsible for her reactions to brother's death. I found "Healing After Loss" by Martha Hickman,"Grieving the Loss of Someone You Love"by Mitsch and Brookside, and especially "How To Go On Living When Someone You Love Dies" by Therese Rando much more suited to my frame of mind.
