How can a brother or sister accept sibling estrangement and grieve the loss of that defining relationship? In this important episode, Ali-John adapts Worden's Tasks of Mourning -- an action-oriented approach that doesn't emphasize stages and phases -- to sibling estrangement. To mourn, a sibling must: accept the reality of the loss by working through denial. process the pain by experiencing unwanted and unpleasant feelings, adjust to the world without a sibling. reassess the role of a sibling and embark on a new life by cultivating purpose and meaning in other relationships. Fern and Ali-John also offer a few exercises to help manage difficult feelings of loss.
