As a surviving sibling or anyone that has experienced loss in their life, birthdays, holidays and milestones are always difficult days.
Mostly because it is a reminder that our siblings' physical form is no longer with us.
What I do is have a glass of champagne by myself every year, that is for my brother and is one of the many ways I decided to honor him on his birthday, a birthday that we share.
In this week's episode, I am sharing about how I have dealt with celebrations and holidays in the past six years, my first ever memory during my third birthday - the day that Andreas was born, and how I decided to honor and commemorate my brother during his birthday and other holidays and so much more.
In this episode I’m covering:
