When the Strong One Breaks: A Letter to My Sister

In this deeply personal and unfiltered episode, Dr. Tye shares part of her grief to her sister. Through raw reflection, she shares the complexity of her bond with her sister, the anger that grief doesn’t warn us about, and the silence that follows sudden loss. Dr. Tye doesn’t wrap this one up with a bow—she opens her chest and speaks straight from the ache.

She also offers a simple grounding technique to help you come back to your body when the grief gets too loud, and closes with a reminder that remembrance is its own kind of medicine.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • What sibling loss feels like when you're the last one left

  • The anger that sits behind grief, and why we need to name it

  • What it means to parent your sister’s children after she’s gone

  • Why “being the strong one” can break you

  • How somatic grounding can help regulate deep grief

  • A journal prompt to help honor your own loss

  • A gentle blessing for anyone who’s walking through sibling grief right now

This episode is a love letter, a release, and a sacred offering. If you’re grieving, you don’t have to do it alone.
