From the moment Peggy Howard received the devastating news of her brother Brian's unexpected death, she found her life as she knew it had forever changed. Using poetry, touching and often humorous reminiscences of the powerful bond she shared with her brother, and a prose style that drills into the heart of her anger and grief, the author paints a moving picture, month by month, of how individuals cope with their own personal sense of loss. Losing Brian is a poignant story of the powerful love that can exist between brother and sister. It is also a story that reminds us on every page that life is precious and that acceptance is perhaps the greatest gift of love.
