Surviving Sibling Loss and the Impact on Identity
In this episode our guest, surviving sibling, Elly shares with Dr. Dean about losing her life person, her sister, Laura, a talented musician. They explore how Laura’s death impacted her, setting boundaries and navigating therapy in the UK. Elly shares the changes in dynamics within the circles of family, friends and workplace as well as how misunderstood sibling loss continues to be for her.
Elly shares how she believed she wasn’t allowed to live life fully because of her sister’s death and the process of beginning to change that. She also describes the painful, yet rewarding, process of learning to cope with her grief.
