Why Is a Sibling’s Grief Invisible?
['Published July']
The Tablet
In the world of psychology, we call this Disenfranchised Grief.
When I received a booklet titled “Losing Your Brother or Sister” and read how sibling loss is not recognized as important, I became very angry.
Jesus didn’t tell them to calm down.
I felt like because my mother lost her child, my own grief had been erased.
If you are a sibling standing in the shadow of someone else’s “bigger” grief, please hear me: Your anger isn’t a sin.
