Please take some time to reach out to someone you know who has lost a sibling(s), acknowledge the loss and show them that you care. The loss of a sibling often causes deep pain and heartache that nobody can imagine who has not gone through it themselves. Sibling grief is often misunderstood and marginalized and siblings are sometimes called 'the forgotten mourners." The focus of the loss is usually on the parents, child, or spouse of the deceased, and rightly so, but the siblings may feel like their grief is overshadowed by the grief of other family members. Siblings suffer tremendously when they lose one another, especially so if the death is sudden or out of order. Often times surviving siblings feel survivor's guilt, abandonment, loss of innocence, family dysfunction, somatic symptoms, fear and anxiety when their brother or sister dies. Sibling relationships often hold deeply complex, rich attachments, so when one dies the other is often left feeling untethered and like they have had a limb amputated. Their memory keeper and life witness has suddenly disappeared forever. Often our siblings hold truer knowledge of us than anyone else, perhaps even ourselves. With the death of a sibling the shared history they had, and hoped for future they wanted to have with them is lost and that creates a great deal of uncertainty, insecurity and anxiety, and that usually goes unacknowledged and misunderstood by others. There is a saying that rings true that, "When a parent dies, you lose the past. When a child dies, you lose the future. When a sibling dies, you lose the past and the future." This November make an effort to connect with someone you know who has lost a sibling…even if it was years ago. Let them know you’re thinking about them and how sorry you are for the pain of their loss.  It was such an honor and joy for our founder, Sara Cobb, to be a recent guest on the
"The Resilience of Grieving Podcast" with host Melo Garcia of After Chloe Melo and Sara had a heartfelt conversation about grief, faith, family, and love. Sara shared about the traumatic losses of her two older brothers and how her grief drove her to launch My Grief Connection and the only known support group specifically for murder-suicide loss survivors in the US. The episode is now live and available to listen to on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, in time for the end of Suicide Prevention & Awareness month. They spoke about some sensitive topics include the death of a child, murder-suicide loss, and trauma, so please use your discretion about whether or not to listen.
