Sibling grief

The cracks were probably there before, but my brother's death and the devastating grief split them wide open. The close-knit family we once were is gone. We tried to hold on, but grief changed us, and pulled us in different directions, and all that remains is echos of what we used to be. #siblingloss #siblinggrief #siblinggriefclub #siblinglossawareness #siblinglosssurvivor #grievingsister #grievingsibling #disenfranchisedgrief Reposted from @the_grieving_sister_

The grief of losing a sibling can feel insurmountable. However, there are ways to manage that grief without shoving it aside or letting it overwhelm you. Giving yourself time to grieve, leaning on friends and family for support, and incorporating self-care practices into your routine are all ways to cope with such a substantial loss.

Very few resources exist for sibling grief. What I am learning is eye opening. I expected it to be. Here are 6 things I feel I should share.

The me that I was when my brother was here is gone. I will never be that person again. I am still trying to figure out who I am now without him. #siblingloss #siblinglosssurvivor #siblinggrief #siblinglossawareness #griefquotes #griefjourney #grief #lossofbrother Reposted from @the_grieving_sister_
