Siblings… SIBBS is for you…by you… The material published in the SIBBS newsletter is for people who have suffered the death of a brother or sister. It is written and produced by bereaved siblings and aims to share information about bereavement, reduce isolation, and offer mutual support and reassurance. We welcome contributions from bereaved siblings of any age. Reading about the experiences of others helps us know we’re not alone.
