SOSS Survivors of Twin Sibling Su***de

A specialized extension of Survivors of Sibling Su***de (SOSS)

Losing a twin can carry deeply personal and distinct layers of grief.

For many twins, life has always included a “we.”

A shared beginning.
A shared age.
Birthdays and milestones.
Family experiences.
Memories.
So many chapters of life lived alongside one another.

When a twin dies, the surviving twin may grieve not only a deeply loved brother or sister, but also the absence of someone who shared the same age, birthdays, milestones, and so many chapters of life alongside them, their connection beginning before birth, in the very first home they shared.

There may be questions of identity.

Who am I now that we are no longer physically together?

There may be profound loneliness in learning how to move through a world that once included the two of you.

There may be birthdays and milestones that feel different because the person who was always the same age is no longer beside you.

There may also be the difficult transition from a lifetime of “we” to “I.”

But you are still a twin.

The love, memories, history, and bond you share do not disappear because your twin is no longer physically here.

SOSS Survivors of Twin Sibling Su***de is a peer-to-peer support community created specifically for adults who have lost their twin brother or twin sister to su***de.

Zoom support group meetings for surviving twins begin in August 2026.

Here, you do not have to explain the unique layers of your grief.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

Even in the unbearable days.
Even in the silence.
Even in the spaces their physical presence once filled.

Love remains.
Love continues.

Where there is deep grief, there is enduring love. We honor and remember them as we carry their light forward.

Your grief matters.
Your twin’s life matters.
Your love and bond endure.

SOSS, created by love. Siblings make it a community.

✞ Introducing the SOSS – Survivors of Sibling Su***de Faith-Centered Support Group

SOSS – Survivors of Sibling Su***de was born from one sister’s enduring love for her brother, Justin, and the belief that no sibling should have to walk this journey alone.

SOSS is an international nonprofit sibling-to-sibling peer support community created specifically for adults age 18 and older who have experienced the su***de loss of a brother or sister.

Our new Faith-Centered Support Group is a private peer support community for siblings who wish to openly include faith as part of their grief and healing journey.

This is not a place where you must pretend to be strong.

You are welcome when your faith feels steady.

You are welcome when you feel broken, angry, confused, questioning, or distant from God.

You are welcome exactly as you are.

Here, your grief is understood at a soul level. You can speak your sibling’s name, share what is on your heart, ask difficult questions, pray with others, or simply sit quietly among people who understand.

Siblings are welcome to share their full story, including the circumstances and details of their sibling’s death.

Speaking openly and honestly can be an important part of grief, healing, remembrance, faith, and connection.

Members are also welcome to share prayers, sacred writings, questions, doubts, anger, hope, spiritual struggles, and experiences related to their faith.

We come from different faith traditions, denominations, backgrounds, and spiritual experiences. Every member’s personal faith journey will be treated with kindness and respect.

No member is expected to appear strong, have all the answers, or grieve in a particular way.

Even in loss.

Even in silence.

Even in the spaces where they are no longer physically beside us.

Love remains.

Love continues.

And here, you do not have to carry that love and grief alone.

We grieve so deeply because we love so deeply.

The SOSS Faith-Centered Support Group also offers a dedicated weekly Zoom peer support meeting, creating a compassionate space where grief and faith can be shared openly and honestly.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”

~ Psalm 34:18

Healing can begin when we place our pain into the hands of the One who sees every tear, hears every question, and understands every place grief has touched.

With faith, love, and hope,
