If you don’t understand why your brother or sister died, ask your parent to explain this to you.

If you are feeling sad all the time ask your parent to take to to the your doctor so that you can get help with it.
I still miss my brother. When I feel sad at school I have a teacher I can talk to. This helps a bit as I feel like somebody listens to me.
