sibling loss
Shared-childhood death grief
Sibling loss is the death of a brother or sister.
The term acknowledges this as a distinct form of grief, often overlooked when attention focuses on parents who lost a child: Support groups for sibling loss helped her process emotions no one else understood.
The loss may reshape family dynamics and identity for surviving siblings.
