"After the tragic death of her younger brother 'Rocky, ' Author Susan Casey takes readers on a harrowing journey from the black river of grief to reclaiming a life with joy and a transformed heart. A licensed social worker, Casey also chronicles the loss of other grief-stricken siblings, who share their heartbreaking and hopeful stories. A must read for anyone who has lost a brother or sister and has embarked on their own healing odyssey." Barbara Walsh, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of August Gale: A Father and Daughter's Journey into the Storm and Sammy in the Sky.

"I loved reading this book! Susan's description of her own journey through grief helped expand on the experiences shared by the siblings she interviewed. Even in the bereavement profession, the grieving sibling is often overlooked or their needs diminished. Rock On: Mining for Joy in the Deep River of Sibling Grief is an important book and Susan does a great job of bringing the people and the process to life, even while dealing with death of her brother." Tasha Walsh, Executive Director at Rockbridge Area Hospice

"Rock On details how the loss of a beloved sibling can turn your world upside down. Using personal experience, this book will make you realize that you are not alone, providing hope and support for anyone who is feeling lost in the sea of grief. The heartbreakingly raw and honest account exudes positivity in its messages, telling of how sorrow and heartache can be turned into acts of kindness, emphasizing how important it is to do everything with love and appreciation for life and for our loved ones." Aimee Mckee: a 20 year old who lost her older brother on May 12, 2017 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
