Surviving Sibling Loss with Dr. Dawn DiRaimondo Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist

After losing her brother in 2004, Dr. Dawn DiRaimondo became interested in bereavement work. It wasn't until later that she found out that there are almost no resources when it comes to sibling loss, so she decided to write a book Surviving Sibling Loss: The Invisible Thread That Connects Us Through Life and Death. Dr. Dawn DiRaimondo Psy. D. was the inspiration behind this podcast. 

In this week's episode, I am sitting down with Dr. Dawn DiRaimondo and sharing about Dawn's sibling loss history, how she dealt with losing her brother, the impact that it had on her family, how her book Surviving Sibling Loss: The Invisible Thread That Connects Us Through Life and Death came to existence, how therapy can help you move forward in your grief journey and so much more.
