Brittany Day

Brittany Day experienced grief at an early age when her brother died suddenly after an automobile accident. It wasn’t until she saw grief through her own daughter’s eyes that she realized surviving siblings need more attention and room to grieve. Often in the grief world, we go through “re-grief” where new experiences can cause us to look at old grief in a new light. While dealing with the loss of her daughters who were stillborn, she started a few projects to help her living daughter understand death and allow her to grieve while still maintaining a relationship with her sisters. In the book, I’m Still A Big Sister, she documents the tools her family used and showcases the normalcy of grief in children.
