Brotherhood Quote by Bridget Everett
“I know a lot of people that have lost siblings, and it's not really discussed as much. I feel like you talk about a dead parent or grandparent or a child or a husband or wife. But like, the sibling thing is kind of secondary, at least in discussions of grief that I've seen.”
