    About this ebook

    Two gutting events occurred in my life. The first was on May 26, 2011, when my identical twin sister succumbed to a five-year unrelenting brain tumor and the seconda mere fourteen months laterwas on September 24, 2012, when my son was enjoying nature while riding his sports bike. He had a tragic accident and died instantly at the young age of twenty-one. My world came to a screeching halt. Two people who meant everything to me were gone forever. Many well-intentioned people told me what I should be doing to get over this, but quite frankly, it wasnt until I came out of the fog that I realized that the only way I was going to survive the rest of my life was to try to channel my grief into something positive.

    To honor the memory of my sister and my son and to help our family and so many friends to heal, I decided to write this book about what you can donot what you should dowhen you lose a loved one.

    Deborah Nobile Milito

    Deborah Nobile Milito graduated with a BS in pharmacy and then went on to receive her doctorate in pharmacy from Duquesne University, along with her identical twin sister, Denise Nobile DeNunzio. They both would have been English majors had they not decided on careers in healthcare. She resides in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, with her aging blond lab, Rico, who’s convinced he is still a puppy, and three of her son Anthony’s creatures, Slink the gecko lizard, Mali the Mali uromastyx, and Emily the turtle. She has two boys—Nicolas, who lives in Houston, and Anthony, who lives in heaven. Things You CAN Do When You Lose a Loved One is Deborah’s first book.
