Going into year five of losing my brother to a homicide, thanks to Detective G I already had most of the answers I was looking for, but in the middle of a global pandemic, I felt like I was regressing in my grief journey. I went through a mixture of feelings, excited because of my entrepreneurial journey but sad at the same time. 

In this episode, I’m talking about the evolution of my grief journey, how my brother came to me in dreams several times to deliver messages, my spiritual journey, why I decided to get a sunflower tattoo, and how I found out that we had a name: surviving siblings, why I felt compelled to seek out a  medium and how I found him.

In this episode I’m covering:

  • The evolution of the grief journey [00:01:02]
  • Signs from my brother / My brother pays me a couple of visits [00:04:30]
  • The sunflower tattoo [00:08:54]
  • My spiritual journey [00:13:54]
  • Seeking resources for Surviving Siblings [00:21:30]
  • Compelled to seek out a medium [00:31:10]
  • My grief journey continues [00:45:10]
