My Brother's Keeper: A Personal Narrative About Coping with the Loss Of A Sibling, Paperback/Ebony N. Ervin

Descriere

Description Upon losing her brother, Jason, in April of 2017, Dr. Ebony N. Ervin decided to write "MY BROTHER'S KEEPER" - a personal narrative about coping with the loss of a sibling. The narrative details the relationship Ebony had with her younger brother beginning the day their parents brought him from the hospital as a newborn to the day he passed. "The Memories of the Past" and "The Circumstances of the Present" paint a vivid picture of a unique sibling bond - filled with life, love, and laughter. This bond is abruptly broken when Jason passes away without much warning at the tender age of 30. "The Aspects of the Passing" are the heart of the narrative. These chapters not only detail the events surrounding Jason's passing, but also bring additional relevance to the previously mentioned memories and circumstances. The narrative ends with "The Realities of the Future" - a description of Ebony's struggle to pick up the pieces of her broken heart. However, despite being the most broken she has ever been, the reader will discover that Ebony is also the strongest she has ever been - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Through her memories, experiences, and newfound strength amid tragedy, Ebony hopes to encourage and inspire others coping with such loss. Although the grief surrounding the loss of her brother was the driving force behind Ebony's authorship, "MY BROTHER'S KEEPER" is ultimately a story of faith, resilience, and triumph that any reader can appreciate.
