 Sibling Loss and The Art of Grieving
A conversation with surviving sibling, Preston Zeller, about losing his brother Colin to a fentanyl overdose. As part of his grief process, Preston created a documentary The Art of Grieving:Turn Grief Into Greatness, to understand his grief and sibling loss.

• He describes that the process of painting helped him to process his emotional response to sibling loss and how he is helping other
• Preston shares how surprising others' reactions to his documentary and project impacted him.
• Preston shares that there were few sibling loss resources for him when he searched at the time of Colin's death.
