I have come to think of sibling grief as “Discount Grief.” Why? Because siblings appear to be an emotional bargain in most people’s eyes. People worry so much about the bereaved parents that they invest very little attention in the grieving sibling.

A time when we can remember our siblings and children alongside other bereaved siblings and parents.

This is our third Walk to Remember: we will meet at the corner of Alexandra Avenue & Anderson Street (on the Yarra side, opposite Royal Botanic Gardens) and will walk along the Yarra on Capital City Trail (from Anderson Street and back). After the walk and ceremonies, we will have a BBQ lunch.
