About this Event

Panel Conversation in the Modern Chapel - Chapel B

Sibling loss is often called a "forgotten grief,” overlooked by society and frequently misunderstood. This panel brings together writers, mental health professionals, and individuals with lived experience to explore the profound complexity of grieving a sibling and how that loss shapes identity, memory, and family dynamics throughout one’s life.

Whether your loss is recent or long ago, whether you’re grieving or supporting someone else, this conversation will offer validation, insight, and space to reflect on the enduring bond between siblings that persists even after death. A moderated Q&A will follow, allowing attendees to share questions and stories.

Free. Please consider a to the Green-Wood Historic Fund so that we can continue to offer more death education programs like this throughout the year.
