On day 3 of #nationalgriefawarenessweek we want to

On day 3 of #nationalgriefawarenessweek we want to #shinealight on adult bereaved siblings.

On one of the first episodes of @imacelebrity , @coleen_rooney spoke about the death of her sister Rosie who died aged 14, 12 years ago. She says ‘I kept it together for my mum and dad’, and ‘it’s hard to lose a child’. With the second comment, there was a slight hesitation, she said child and not sister/sibling. Sounding like, she’s putting her parents grief before her own, even 12 years on (we could be wrong of course).

There’s a reason bereaved siblings are known as ‘the forgotten grievers’ and this clip highlights it. Shushma Jain, one of SLOW’s bereaved sibling facilitators said, ‘Watching the episode, I could feel what Coleen Rooney was saying, as us siblings are made to feel that our grief is “not as important” as our parents because we are “only” the sibling”. Therefore we suppress the grief like Coleen has shown in the clip. However, we shouldn’t have to, as we are their sibling, and equally valid to grieve and be equally affected by their death. This, however is far from true. We share our past, present and future with our sibling - the only relationship that does this. It’s ok to grieve and be affected by our sibling dying. We are doing nothing wrong’.

Bereaved adult siblings, we want you to know, we’re here for you, no matter your age, how old your brother or sister was when they died, how they died or how long ago they died. If you’d like to talk with other bereaved siblings in a safe space. Get in touch with Shushma and Sarah - both bereaved siblings who facilitate our monthly online bereaved siblings support group at adultsibs@slowgroup.co.uk

You can also listen to Shushma speak about her brother Arvind on a recent @bereavedparents_club podcast. Shushma was invited to share her story with Debbie Enever, bereaved parent and podcast host. You can hear the episode wherever you listen to your podcasts.

On day 2 of #nationalgriefawarenessweek we want to

On day 2 of #nationalgriefawarenessweek we want to #shinealight on our SLOWSibs.

For over 10 years, we’ve been offering creative workshops for younger bereaved siblings and we’re still always amazed at the thought, creativity, devotion and dedication that goes into whatever it is they are creating in memory of their brother or sister. In this workshop, it was working with paint pens and pebbles.

When a sibling dies it’s traumatic for all the family, our SLOWSibs workshops are a safe, non judgmental creative space that allow young bereaved sibling’s to process their grief in a non verbal and sensory-based way.

Huge thanks to @nicwilson_art SLOW’s Co-founder, for setting up SLOWSibs and giving these young people a place to connect with other bereaved siblings and the opportunity to express their grief in their own way ❤️
