How to Write These Messages Well

✅ What to Say

Honor the sister bond — the confidante relationship, the shared history. If you knew her, share a memory of the two of them together. Offer to listen; sibling grief is often under-acknowledged, and validating it helps. Keep checking in — sibling loss stays with you for life.

❌ What to Avoid

Avoid 'she's in a better place' unless you know their beliefs. Don't compare losses or say 'at least you have your other siblings.' Never ask how she died. Don't expect them to be 'strong for mom and dad.'
