Remembering Ruth - by Judy Eichinger (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

JUDY EICHINGER WAS TWO AND A HALF when her beloved sister Ruth was born with one kidney shriveled and the other severely damaged. She died at age fifteen. For many years, Judy couldn't mention Ruth's name or talk about her loss. Events finally forced her to confront her feelings and work through her grief, anger, and loneliness. This book movingly captures, moment to moment,
that journey from a life of despair to one of fulfillment--in the hope of helping others who lost a sibling growing up.

Review Quotes

"Thirty years after I ran the grief sibling support group, I received the manuscript for this amazing book. Judy has taken the painful experiences from her past and turned them into a work
that is powerful and healing. She writes with candor, honesty, courage, and determination. She manages to accept herself and her parents, and transforms her relationship with Ruth. I encourage every bereaved sibling to read it."
