Abstract
Siblings react to the death of a brother or sister. These reactions may be nightmares, a change in school behavior and performance, depression, feeling rejected by parents, withdrawal, along with many other reactions. Parents, friends, and health care professionals can be an instrument in helping siblings cope. Play therapy may be a therapeutic approach with siblings for prevention and crisis purposes.Keywords
