I remember the day after losing Shawna, my brother Tony, said to me "Now you're the youngest sibling". It shook me. I am a little sister, but I'm also a BIG sister, to Shawna. The last two years without her, I haven't been asked the question often about how many siblings do I have, but when I am asked, I say that I have 3. I will always be Shawna's big sister and no space of death can take that away.
I will always have two siblings. My younger brother is here, and my older sister Suzanne, while always with me, is not present on the planet anymore. And I think it will always suck.

That's heartbreaking. I think we talked about this in the upcoming episode, which will be out soon.

These questions shake us to our core. Thank you for shining a light on sibling loss and the many ways we navigate it. 💜
Thank you for the beautiful conversation.
