“But Not to Brothers and Sisters…We Live Outside the Touch of Time”

Thanks to one of our bereaved for sharing this beautiful quote with me, so that I could share it with you. Sentiments like this one help explain why sibling grief can be so complicated and more difficult than the outside world imagines. If this area is a challenging one for you, you might want to check out this resource provided by Compassionate Friends entitled “Adults Grieving the Death of a Sibling.” If you need any assistance, please feel free to call me (Kim) at 504-734-0140 or write me at ksmith@stjosephhospice.com.

To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time.  - Clara Ortega
