| The Compassionate Friends |
| PO Box 3696 Oak Brook IL 60522 Phone: 877-969-0010 Website: http://www.compassionatefriends.org/Find_Support/Family-Support/grief_support_for_siblings.aspx When a child has died, siblings are often referred to as “the forgotten mourners.” While parents usually receive most of the support of relatives and friends, siblings generally receive little—often being asked “How are your parents doing?” The Compassionate Friends is an organization that is not just for bereaved parents. It’s also for bereaved siblings (and grandparents). Some chapters have sibling subgroups (which welcome siblings age 14 and up) while adult siblings are welcome at all TCF chapter meetings. Contact your local chapter to find out their policies on siblings attending meetings. |
