Thank you for sharing this vulnerable post. Anniversaries are hard, especially on a loss so recent. I always thought that losing a sibling was not talked about enough. Often it focuses on the parents or the spouse, but losing a sibling is unique in its grief, and not any less devastating.

Beautiful. And so true: “Losing a sibling is losing someone who knows your family's precise flavor of crazy like no one else can.”

I lost my brother last year and this hit me: "Losing Patrick meant losing stories I’ll never remember. And losing someone to share memories with that now I only know." Thank you for sharing this wonderful post.

Sibling loss is uniquely hard, and it can be lonely when it happens at earlier ages than expected. Thank you Juliette for this message <3
