They still grieve—a nationwide follow‐up of young adults 2–9 years after losing a sibling to cancer

Abstract

The majority of bereaved young adults had not worked through their grief over the sibling's death. A small group of siblings reported that they had not worked through their grief at all, which may be an indicator of prolonged grief. Lack of social support and more recent loss were associated with not having worked through the grief over the sibling's death.
