Navigating Dual Roles: Surviving Sibling Loss and Anticipatory Grief as Caregiver, Advocate, and Grieving Sister

A conversation with sibling loss survivor, Dr. Jen Kilgore, about losing her brother, Jimmy

• Dr. Jen Kilgore, a naturopathic doctor, shares her personal sibling loss story of losing her brother to cancer and the challenges she has faced in the aftermath.
• She discusses the guilt and anticipatory grief she experienced as she watched her brother’s health decline.
• She also talks about the difficulties of navigating her relationship with her sister after their brother’s death, and the importance of finding support from others who have experienced similar losses.

Dr. Kilgore has a naturopathic medical clinic in Nashua, New Hampshire and helps people with unexplainable  unresponsive complex conditions by integrating education and empowerment practices with cutting edge modern technologies. Her work today was largely inspired because of the clarity and confidence that came from her personal experience of sibling loss and losing her brother to cancer and cancer treatment.
