 It was founded by Audree Thurman (Kropen) in memory of her sister Robin and her grandson Hayden. Each passed away before adulthood, leaving Audree (in 1967) and her granddaughter Brenna (in 2020) to grow up without their respective siblings. The non-profit aims to be a valuable online resource for surviving siblings with its flagship application (https://sibsforever.org). A second application (https://onlineresources.org) is in development, which will offer a novel way to pinpoint the most relevant online resource pages, including interactive apps, podcasts, videos, and Facebook groups. |
sibsforever.org was created to support and provide a safe community for surviving siblings (people who have lived through the loss of a sibling). Surviving siblings are heavily impacted by their experiences, so collecting and protecting memories, stories, and precious moments with their loved ones is vital. The application functions as an online memory book for surviving siblings. It is a secure and private platform for surviving siblings to chronicle memories through storytelling, pictures, and videos. By sharing their stories and experiences, the sibsforever.org community has become a safe and supportive space for surviving siblings.
