Some siblings have a disabled or ill brother or sister who has a short time to live. We know that siblings find this very hard. As well as getting support with your feelings, it is important that you get enough time to be with your brother or sister.
Some things you can do if your brother or sister has a short time to live
1
Ask your parent to help you do something special and fun with your brother or sister.
2
Take lots of photos and videos of you together.
3
Write a diary or make a scrapbook or memory box and fill it with writing, pictures and things that will remind you of your brother or sister.
Even though it was a really sad time, it helped to know that we were spending lots of time together and making memories.
