When siblings face a parent's death with different grief

My mom is dying and my sister and I are sharing caregiving duties, but we've never talked about our different relationships with her or how differently this is hitting us. We're coordinating medical appointments and medications efficiently but we're not really supporting each other emotionally, and I think we both feel alone in this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The administrative demands of death can become a way to avoid the emotional reality that two people are losing the same person in entirely different ways.
