Sibling Credo
We are the surviving siblings of The
Compassionate Friends.
We are brought together by the deaths of
our brothers and sisters.
Open your hearts to us, but have
patience with us.
Sometimes we will need the support of our
friends.
At other times we need our families to be
there.
Sometimes we must walk alone, taking our memories with
us,
continuing to become the individuals we want to be.
We
cannot be our dead brother or sister;
however, a special part of
them lives on with us.
When our brothers and sisters died, our
lives changed.
We are living a life very different from what we
envisioned,
and we feel the responsibility to be strong even
when we feel weak.
Yet we can go on because we understand better
than many others
the value of family and the precious gift of
life.
Our goal is not to be the forgotten mourners that we
sometimes are,
but to walk together to face our tomorrows as
surviving siblings of
The Compassionate
Friends.
