EP 85: Sibling Loss and the Forgotten Grievers with Annie Sklaver Orensteinn (A re-broadcast)
<p dir="ltr">The grief market may have a number of resources, guides and/or supports for the death of a spouse or parent. What about when your sibling dies? There are scant if any resources available. Annie discovered this after her brother was killed by a suicide bomber in Afghanistan. In fact, much of what is available is how siblings can care for their grieving parent. Feedback, that can be minimizing, is what siblings need to do, not how they feel. The lack of understanding and attention to sibling loss inspired Annie to write her book; Always A Sibling; the Forgotten Mourners Guide to Grief. For anyone who has lost a sibling this book is a valuable resource.</p> <p dir="ltr">Enjoy this episode? Please give us a 5-star rating and share with someone who could benefit.
