Abstract

Over 33,000 people die from suicide each year in the United States, leaving nearly 200,000 family members grieving. Much has been written about suicide loss and grieving, yet not about the sibling survivors of suicide, called the "forgotten mourners." This qualitative study of in-depth interviews with 45 sibling survivors of suicide extends the literature on uncertainty management and grief by investigating multiple ways in which sibling survivors of suicide experience uncertainty and loss, and the management responses that result. © 2013 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.
