When family members compete over grief after a suicide loss

My sister-in-law and I were both close to my brother before his suicide, but now we're competing over who knew him better and who has the right to grieve him most, which is poisoning both our memories and our family relationships.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are turning shared loss into a battlefield for validation, making the devastation even more isolating.
