Only another bereaved parent can understand the horror of surviving a child. With this in mind, Vicki W. Vanderveen penned "The Music In Your Brother's Name; An Open Letter To My Surviving Children" following the sudden death of her three year old son. Christian James Vanderveen died in 1993, from an undiagnosed metabolic disorder following a case of the flu.
Though Christian was an earth-bound angel only briefly, he touched a magnitude of people. In her book, Ms. Vanderveen keeps her son's memory alive for her daughters, while counselling other grieving parents.
If you or someone you know has lost a child, please read "The Music In Your Brother's Name."
