There are so many layers to Audree's story, as mentioned in part one, she lost her sister Robin when she was 12, and they were only two and a half years apart. To this day, it has been the event that has impacted her life the most and has changed her trajectory of it. Audree moved forward in her grief journey and had two children, and one of the ways that Audree honored her sister, Robin, was to give her daughter Robin's name, as her middle name.
In this week's episode, we will be sharing the second part of Audree's story, the loss of her grandson Hayden, who has a twin sister. Hayden's passing was not sudden, so Audree had the opportunity to share with her granddaughter her experience as a surviving sibling. Shortly before Hayden's death, Audree decided that she really wanted to honor him, she wanted to build something that would keep some aspect of him alive, and that's how Sibsforever.org was born.
