Dear Friend:

I heard your sibling died. I really know how you feel! If I could be with you right now, I’d have a million things I’d want to say. You see, I’ve walked where you’re walking now. My sister died a year ago. I wish I’d had someone who knew what I was going through when my sister died. I know this is a scary and lonely time for you, but please know you’re not alone in how you feel.

One of the most important things you can do right now is not shut yourself off. Feel whatever it is you’re feeling -- even if it’s complete devastation. Talk about your feelings, especially with your family. Remember, they’re all going through the exact same thing you’re going through. Talk about your sibling, remember all the good times you had together, laugh about the things you both found funny, cry about how sad you are and know that your sibling will always been in your heart.
