24.01.2022 Because I’m a mum

24.01.2022 NOW LIVE: Please keep in mind our new ONLINE CHAT SERVICE for bereaved siblings aged 18-30 years is available daily from 3.00 PM to12.00 AM daily. If you are a bereaved sibling aged 18-30 years, we encourage you to explore this service. Alternately, if you know of siblings in this age range, PLEASE share this information. A significant service gap for this age group has been identified and this is our attempt to bridge this gap. (Please note: following this 6-month pilot ...and subject to demand/resources - and a Board decision - there are possibilities for TCFV to expand the online chat service beyond the current age range.) https://siblingsupport.tcfv.org.au

Last year, not long after her 21st birthday her other brother Sam took his life after battling with schizophrenia. Alice and her twin sister have created a blog which explores their experience with grief. ... Alice wrote the post 'Sibling Grief as a child' to explore how she tried to grapple with grief as an eight year old compared to how she is dealing with it now as a 22 year old. https://www.theridsdaletwins.com/p/sibling-grief-as-a-child

This service is a peer based social and emotional support program for bereaved siblings aged 18-30 years.... Tailored for individuals who may not be interested in (or not able due to time or geographic constraints) attending TCFV’s regular face to face Sibling Support Group meetings, or individuals who prefer not to connect via a telephone call. Via this web chat service, they can make contact when and where it suits them to do so. We wish to thank the generous financial support of the 5point Foundation and the Bank of Melbourne Foundation. https://www.compassionatefriendsvictoria.org.au//new-sibl/

All volunteers are bereaved and there is always a warm and welcoming atmosphere, you can chat whilst you work with like-minded people who are understanding and compassionate.
