Life Out of Order: A Story of Sibling Loss and Living with Traumatic Brain Injury

by Sally Laux

Overview

This is a story of grief, healing, hope and love.

This is the author's life as it relates to her three brothers. It is the story of what happened to them. It is a story of holding on to oneself in the midst of six sibling and rediscovering oneself while losing them, one after another. It is a very personal, inspiring story of sibling life and sibling loss.

Sally's life is an extraordinary story of losing 2 brothers to death and 1, in large measure, to a traumatic brain injury. Her book will have special resonance for folks who have lost siblings, who are caretakers for disabled siblings, or who are in recovery, but you don't need those exact experiences to identify with Sally's powerful words.

Editorial Reviews

I finished this book in one day - I couldn't put it down. I haven't lost a sibling, can't related to her story of growing up with 5 siblings, but still found it profoundly moving. The author's honesty and strength of spirit shine through on every page, giving me hope and inspiring me to do what I need to for my own growth and healing. Wonderful book.

DC Reader

Sally's memoir of growing up in a large family, the deaths of two brothers, and the "loss" of a third to a traumatic brain injury that he survived is full of lessons for everyone. Her book is honest and smart. Whether your own life includes alcoholism or grief or not, you will learn something from Sally's words.
