Losing a sibling often changes the way you view your existence in the world. Brothers and sisters are the keepers of childhood memories, and are expected to be part of your future. Holly MacKenzie lost her big sister, and only sibling, to suicide, 20 years ago. In this week's podcast, she returns to those early, difficult days as a teenager navigating grief, and shares what she has learned about the lifetime of healing that follows. She and Colby connect on a very personal level, as only surviving siblings can do.
