POV: You get tired of explaining your grief to people who just don’t get it.

So eventually… you stop talking about it.

But when you meet people who do understand sibling loss, something shifts.
You don’t have to explain the pain.
You don’t feel “too much.”
You finally feel seen.

That’s why we created our sibling loss support group — a space where you can talk openly, connect with people who truly understand, and not carry this alone anymore. 🤍

You knew you were doing the right thing.
Setting boundaries.
Not enabling.
Protecting yourself the only way you knew how.
And still…
When they’re gone, the questions come anyway.
Did they know I loved them?
Did they understand why I had to be that way?
Because grief doesn’t erase the past.
It sits right beside it.
Holding both truths at the same time— that you did what you had to do…
and that you wish things could’ve been different— is one of the hardest parts.
So you try to make sense of it.
You go to therapy.
You unpack it piece by piece.
The guilt.
The love.
The what-ifs.
Not to change what happened… but to learn how to carry it.

Have you ever struggled with guilt… even when you know you did the right thing?

05/09/2026

If you’re a sibling navigating grief and you feel completely alone in it… I want you to know you’re not.

A lot of siblings feel forgotten in grief. Like everyone expects them to “be okay” while they’re carrying something impossible.

And if you feel like you’ve tried everything — isolating, pushing through, pretending you’re fine — maybe it’s time to try support from people who actually get it.

In this video, I’m sharing how our support groups work and why having a space where you don’t have to explain your grief can make all the difference. 💛

You don’t have to carry this alone anymore.

Some of us didn’t choose to be “the strong one.”
It was just… handed to us.
The role we stepped into without even realizing it.
The one who holds it together.
Who shows up for everyone else.
Who keeps moving forward… no matter what.
Especially as the oldest.
The daughter. The one everyone quietly leans on.
But strength doesn’t always look the way we’ve been taught it should.
It’s not just pushing through.
Or holding everything in.
Or taking care of everyone else before yourself.
Sometimes… real strength looks like feeling.
Letting yourself be present.
Letting yourself soften.
Letting yourself exist without carrying it all.
And maybe… redefining what “being strong” actually means for you.

Are you the “strong one” in your family… or have you been trying to be?

What always reminds you of your sibling?

05/06/2026

There isn’t one right way through grief.
There isn’t a perfect timeline.
Or a set path that everyone follows.
Sometimes… people come closer.
And sometimes… they drift apart.
And both can be part of the journey.
Because healing doesn’t always happen side by side.
Sometimes it happens quietly.
Individually.
In spaces that don’t always overlap.
And sometimes… that space is exactly what’s needed.
To process.
To feel.
To find your way back to yourself.
And then—when the time is right—
to find your way back to each other.
Because there’s something about grief
that unfolds the way it’s meant to…
even when it doesn’t make sense in the moment.

Have you experienced distance—or reconnection—after loss?

05/02/2026

Grief doesn’t make everything perfect.
It doesn’t turn families into some picture of peace where everyone responds the same way
and everything just… works.
There are still differences.
Still moments of tension.
Still things you have to work through.
Because grief is personal.
And no two people carry it the same way.
Some feel anger.
Some go quiet.
Some need to talk about it constantly.
Others can’t find the words at all.
And learning that…can be one of the hardest parts.
Realizing that just because someone doesn’t grieve like you…
doesn’t mean they aren’t grieving deeply.
It just means their way looks different.
And when there’s space for that—
when there’s respect for each other’s process, something really powerful can happen.
You can still stay connected.
Still feel like a family.
Even in the middle of loss.
Not perfect.
But real.
And sometimes… that’s even more meaningful.

Have you ever struggled with how differently people grieve?

05/01/2026

She was supposed to be in the final stretch of wedding planning…
wrapping up details, celebrating, soaking in the moments she had been waiting for.
Instead, she was in the car… driving to her parents’ house, just trying to get there as fast as she could, needing to be with her people after finding out her brother had died.

And just like that… everything else fell away.
The bachelorette party didn’t happen.
The bachelor trip was canceled.

All the little moments you picture when you think about a wedding…
the excitement, the buildup, the anticipation… none of it felt important anymore.
She wasn’t thinking about flowers or timelines or dresses.

She was trying to process how her entire world had just shifted overnight.
How do you walk into a wedding when you’re still in shock?
How do you celebrate when someone so important is missing?
And how do you keep moving forward… when all you really want is to stay right there with your family and not move at all?

Have you ever had to walk through a milestone while carrying grief?

Your grief gets to take up space.
Even when people stop asking.
Even when the world gets quiet.
That doesn’t mean your story has to stop being told.
Because they mattered.
And they still do.
And so do you.
You’re allowed to speak their name.
To remember them out loud.
To share the parts of your story that didn’t end when they left.
But you don’t have to carry it alone.
There are spaces for you.
Safe ones where you can be seen.
Where your grief is understood.
Where your person is remembered.
Because you were never meant to be the only one holding their memory.

When was the last time you said their name out loud?

04/27/2026

She finished the program.
And then… she stepped into the work.
She worked in a college counseling center.
Then a group practice.

All while carrying the work that first called her here.
Grief.
For years… she poured into others.
Until she realized— she needed something too.
So she shifted.
Took a role behind the scenes.
Before telehealth was normal.
Before therapy looked like this.
Because she knew exactly who she was meant to serve.
The grieving.
Not just loss from death—but the kind people don’t always name.
Miscarriage.
Estrangement.
Divorce.
Losing a pet.

The kind of grief that still changes everything.
Even if the world doesn’t always see it.
