Joe's Sister: A Resource for Out of Order Loss Helping Siblings Who Have Experienced Out of Order Loss

“There’s a blessing in every breathe you take. Even when it’s hard to breathe you have yet to suffocate.” – A.B.

Break open your heart, color outside the lines.

How much is enough? Pain? Sadness? Missing them.

We know grief is not linear, it comes in waves – knocks you down, then you get back up.

How do you heal? How do you remove a wall you built around your broken heart?

I try to remember, it’s not as hard as my mind makes it out to be. To keep going, to take deep breathes.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost.” – J.R.R. Tolkein
