The Book
There are many things that you think you might be prepared for in your life, losing your sibling is not one of them. In December of 1996, Zander Sprague’s sister was murdered. All of a sudden he found himself thrust into a very unfamiliar world. Even with all the love and support of his friends and family he found that he alone had to choose a positive pathway to healing and recovery.
This book is for anyone who has lost a sibling and wants some guidance on how they too can find their own positive pathway.

This is a great book for anyone who has lost a sibling. I lost my older sister less than a year ago and haven’t done a lot of talking with my family. The questions in this book are practical, useful, and a good starting point for someone who might be averse to speaking wtih a stranger about their grief. My own sadness kept me from reading the book when I first got it but once I opened the book I read it straight through. The questions were eye opening because my brother and I hadn’t ever discussed what that day was like for both of us.
Thank you for writing this book, I hope it helps others as it has helped me.

Very Impressive for the first book. When you lose a loved one, you think that your the only person who feels the way you do. You think no one will ever understand what is going through your mind. Thank you Zander, for sharing your story.

I lost my brother last year. I totally stumbled onto your website and bought the book. I found it to be an easy read and I liked the multiple viewpoints that you included. It is nice to know that I am not alone, because that was how I was feeling.
I am recommending this book to my friend who’s sister was diagnosed with cancer.

My own sister died when I was 13 (she was 19), so for me it has been a while. But I nonetheless found answering your questions, and having a “framework” for my remembering, very calming and therapeutic. I enjoyed remembering the details in a logical progression, rather than in the random images the mind tends to generate. There were some details I filled in, which I hadn’t before. In all, I felt I had completed something.
So thank you for writing your book and for sharing it with me. You do Lucy a great honor to use your experiences to help heal so many.
