About

My name is Sarah.

On May 20, 2023, my only sibling — my younger sister ⁠— died in her sleep. As of July 2023, the autopsy was inconclusive. She just died, at 28, of no apparent cause. In a reality where nothing made sense, I looked for likeminded souls. I soon discovered that sibling loss and grieving a sibling is not as present in spaces for the bereaved as others. I turned to my own journal to unload, feeling there was nowhere else to go.

I also turned to places where I could find some of the people who would get me, such as reddit. Several users told me they found comfort in what I shared about my experiences. They also complimented my writing sometimes. So this blog is an extended hand to all that find it. I hope more people can find a piece of what they’re looking for here.

I promise to be raw and honest in this space. I commit to sharing my journey because some of the only things that got me through the early days were posts and messages from other people who got it, who were also in the midst of their own personal version of this crisis. I hope something, somewhere in this blog brings at least one person comfort.

Hello, reader. It is nice to meet you, and I am so sorry you have found yourself here.
