One of the most troublesome results of losing a sibling is that you feel powerless. In a flash, your power is robbed from you. Reading and actively using bibliotherapy can help you get some of that power back. As you gather information, identify language and feelings that define what happened to you, you begin to gain some mastery of the experience. Your attempt to understand what you read and effort to compare and contrast it to your experience creates new and beneficial ways of thinking and feeling.
