"Parents devote the majority of their time to the care and comfort of the hospitalized child, which causes siblings to feel left out of the parent-sick child relationship. Siblings may become resentful of their sick sibling and begin to feel guilty or ashamed about such feelings." page 970
"Parents instensify attention toward the sick child. The other siblings may regard this as unfair and interpret the parents' attitude toward them as rejection and abandonment." page 1056
