Losing a brother or sister early in life is something no one expects – it changes everything. The gap they leave is huge.
Support for you in your home.
Our online support day offers understanding, encouragement and support to any adult sibling in the UK who has lost a brother or sister in any circumstance and at any age.
This event is a wonderful opportunity to meet and share with others and is aimed mainly at anyone in their 20s and 30s living with loss after the death of a sibling.
The comfortable and relaxed environment creates a safe space to meet and share with others whose brother or sister has died, discover strategies to cope with life, and build resilience for the future.
We want delegates at our support events to feel they are in a safe place. During this online event, you‘ll be participating from the comfort of your own home.
You will have the opportunity to:
- Hear from others who have suffered the death of a brother or sister
- Share your story in a small breakout room with others who really understand
- Discover practical ways to work through the pain of bereavement and loss
- Receive comfort, hope and help for the journey ahead
The day is led by our Bereaved Adult Sibling team, who are all bereaved siblings.
‘It was really good and helpful. If you don’t feel confident speaking to others in a group you don’t feel pressured to.’
‘It’s not morbid, it’s nice, it’s a place you can remember and talk about what you are finding difficult and help each other.’
Our online events cost £15* and bookings are made through Eventbrite.
The events take place on Zoom. Once booked we will send you full details of how to access the event, together with everything you’ll need to make the event a unique and supportive experience.
* Why do we charge? When Covid-19 first struck we made the decision to make our online events available to as many people as possible, and as quickly and easily as possible. That’s why we made them free. As a charity we knew we could not sustain this approach indefinitely. So, if you can afford to pay for a ticket, please choose that option. If that isn’t possible at the moment, then please select the free ticket rate. We never want money to be the reason you are unable to access our resources and support.
Dates for future online support days will be announced here in the coming months.
You may also be interested in our next support weekend which includes Brothers and Sisters: Life after Loss.
The siblings weekend runs alongside our bereaved parent weekend. However most sessions are separate and are run by those who have experienced the loss of a sibling.
