Following the unexpected death of my only brother in 1997, I began work on a book about the unique grief experience of surviving adult siblings. In the process of writing Surviving the Death of a Sibling: Living Through Grief When an Adult Brother or Sister Dies, I had the opportunity to speak with thousands of bereaved siblings. During the course of most of these conversations, the subject of grief dreams invariably came up; it was the one topic everyone wanted to discuss. I also noticed that the topic of grief dreams seemed to surface frequently on the discussion board and during weekly chats at the adult sibling grief Web.
