The Empty Room: Understanding Sibling Loss Devita-Raeburn ElizabethPaperback
Ted is Elizabeth DeVita-Raeburn's older brother, best friend, and the ringmaster of her days. Her parents explain that he went to the hospital for a while. On a September morning when she is six, she wakes up and Ted is gone.
Finding little in A while turns out to be eight years in a plastic bubble, where he dies of a rare autoimmune disease at age seventeen.The Empty Room is DeVita-Raeburn's unflinching, often haunting recollection of life with Ted, woven into a larger exploration of the enormous -- and often unacknowledged -- impact of a sister's or brother's death on remaining siblings.With an inspired blend of life experience, journalistic acumen, and research training, DeVita-Raeburn draws on interviews of more than two hundred survivors to render a powerful portrait of the range of conditions and emotions, from withdrawal to guilt to rage, that attend such loss.
