This review is from: Memories Of My Sister: Dealing with Sudden Death (Paperback)

I purchased this book hoping to relate to another person who lost his or her sister suddenly. I realize that her sister passed within months of her illness, but she watched her sister deteriorate and was not "sudden." I also felt that her frustration of trying to help her sister and her helplessness came off as arrogance. I have recently lost my sister who was in her early 30's. She went to the hospital with what she felt was the flu and died within an hour of being in the hospital. I was hoping this book related more to my situation where a loved one passed completely unexpectedly and within hours or even days of being sick. My grief is very new and fresh. Reading it later in my grieving process may give me a different take on things, but for now, I was not impressed and it did not console me the way I was hoping.

This is an easy read book. I was touched by the heartfelt emotion expressed dealing with her sister's sudden death, finishing it in one day. I especially liked the way the author used this experience to teach others about grief with practical ways to recognize grief and heal, and how she includes a chapter on self health advocacy with easy to understand approaches to medical professionals to communicate health issues. A must read for everyone.

This book had me on quite the roller-coaster ride of emotions. It is extremely easy to follow and understand. It gives the reader insight of what is really important in life while adding much needed knowledge of ones feelings and medical wellbeing.
