As a community child and adolescent psychiatrist and humanitarian child protection adviser, I have worked with youth who have been through any number of traumatic experiences: armed conflict, war, migration, separation from their families, and marginalization by the structural violence of poverty. It is common for youth in these circumstances to experience the violent loss of a loved one, be it parent, sibling, or another significant caregiver. In the case of sibling death, attention may be focused on the parents, as adults may feel more comfortable expressing emotion outwardly and helping each other through one of the worst imaginable experiences —the loss of a child.
