Highmark Caring Place: Childhood memories and grown-up dreams: Sibling loss across the lifespan-Enduring Material
Experiencing the death of a sibling can be a profound loss, but one that is often overlooked as a major life-altering event. Siblings (and sibling-like relationships) can play important roles in our lives. Often, these are the people who have shared elements of our upbringing and know us the best. The loss of a sibling often shifts family roles and dynamics in significant ways.
In this webinar, we will explore the unique nature of sibling loss, and discuss ways of supporting those who experience the loss of a sibling.
