Jason, this article resonates with me deeply. I lost two brothers (the younger one’s loss was a shock and a horror) and still have one brother, eight years older, to whom I ask questions and tell stories. I know what you know now. Without parents, our sister and brother are our lifeline to the past.
My heart goes out to you, I lost my only sibling in 2019 quite suddenly. I feel robbed of the person I've spent my entire life with, who shared all those memories. It's gutting.
Great article. I have seen a lot of writing about losing a child, or losing a parent, but losing a sibling, the one you were going to travel your whole life with, is a special and enduring grief.
I always said I didn’t know what I would do without my brother, my best friend, the joy in our family. Then shock death came. I’m surviving but there is an underlying sadness all the time. Sibling love is special. ❤️
