My blog is about grief, specifically about dealing with the death of my younger sister. I was very hesitant about writing it. On one hand I felt better when I saw the words on the page pop up, like a stream of consciousness type of writing as a way of dealing with the pain and all its different components that plagued me most at the time. On the other hand I felt a little guilty for writing about something so intimate and publishing it for others to see. However, I also felt it necessary for others to see. There isn’t a lot of information about sibling loss online. Believe me, I checked. I figured that this was a way for me to introduce a little bit more about an otherwise unknown subject matter. After I started, I had people tell me how much it helped them with their own grief so I kept at it for some time. I might return to it because sibling loss is something you learn to live with, not something that disappears. Unfortunately.
