Abstract

Siblings of children with life-threatening conditions are often referred to as "forgotten" mourners as focus tends to be on the ill child and parents. With limited knowledge about siblings' experience, it is challenging to provide appropriate supports.

The purpose of this dissertation was to examine and expand current evidence about siblings' experiences to guide research and clinical practice.
