Losing a brother or sister

Losing a sibling can change your whole world. Suddenly your family feels broken. When everything comes crashing down, it can be extremely difficult to see how life will ever seem normal again. You must continue to tell yourself that your grief will eventually ease.

Accepting help from family and friends, and just being there for your parents and other surviving siblings can help with your family’s grief. You may even like to try seeing a counsellor as a group.

Creating an online memorial of your loved one can help you express what you want to say. Feel free to add photos, videos, music, poems, whatever you like. An online memorial will last forever and it can be a place for you to go right throughout you life, wherever you may be in the world. Click here to start creating one.
