Sibling loss is among the most disenfranchised of griefs — often overshadowed by parental mourning, poorly supported by a culture that has fewer rituals for it, and carried in the strange loneliness of having lost the person who knew you longest. Siblings share a particular kind of history — childhood, family narrative, a shared reference point — and when one dies, the other loses a dimension of themselves that was only available through that relationship. This domain takes sibling grief seriously and holds its specific character.
