  • A Brother’s Heart — Grief Through the Eyes of a Sibling
    Sep 7 2025

    In this deeply moving episode of Grief Left Behind, we hear from Jake, Eli’s younger brother, as he shares his raw and honest perspective on life after loss. Through the eyes of a sibling, grief takes on a different weight—filled with love, confusion, anger, and the longing for moments that will never come again.

    Jake opens his heart about growing up without his brother by his side, the way grief has shaped his childhood, and the strength he’s finding to keep moving forward. This is not just the story of loss—it’s the story of resilience, brotherly love that doesn’t end with death, and the quiet courage it takes to keep living when someone you love is gone.

    A Brother’s Heart is a reminder that grief touches every member of the family, and that children and siblings carry their own unique battles after suicide loss.
