Books By Kate Hill - Author

Kate Hill began this book after her brother's death, aged twenty. Her book inspired further research at the University of Oxford Department of Psychiatry, where she had worked with the Centre for Suicide Research and the Samaritans. Kate Hill also edited the SIBBS (Support in Bereavement for Brothers and Sisters) quarterly newsletter and put together an information pack on bereavement from sudden death for the Samaritans. Kate Hill died unexpectedly of a brain bleed, in 1994.

This new edition of The Long Sleep is by Kate's sister, Anna Hill, with the support of Dr Ailsa Snaith and Dr Andrew Parsons. Kate's groundbreaking work and the stories she captured have been complemented with up-to-date insights to continue their positive impact on young lives today.
