Rosie

Coming to terms with the death of a sibling.

Jenny’s sister, Rosie, was not very well. She didn’t have a sore throat, and she didn’t have a runny nose. She didn’t have spots and she didn’t feel sick. But Rosie was still unwell. Jenny wants to know why Rosie doesn’t get better.

The story shows a warm and caring family, learning to deal with long-term illness. It’s a story about suffering and death, but also about the special place in heaven where there are no more tears, or pain or suffering.
