Send me a Text Message- please include your contact information so I can respond
In this deeply moving episode of Grief 2 Growth, Brian Smith sits down with Deb Strebel, founder of Lee Alexander & Co., to explore the rarely discussed experience of sibling loss โ and how creativity can be a powerful path through grief.
When Deb lost her 15-year-old brother Lee to sudden myocarditis, her world shifted forever. What followed was a painful but transformative journey through trauma, therapy, and eventually purpose. That purpose? Helping others carry love forward through custom, heirloom-quality memorial jewelry.
Together, Brian and Deb explore:
- ๐ Why sibling grief is uniquely isolating โ and often overlooked
- โ๏ธ The pressure of being the โonly child leftโ โ and the emotional impact on family dynamics
- ๐ง How EMDR therapy helped Deb work through trauma and panic attacks
- ๐ The story behind Lee Alexander & Co. and the mission to help others preserve legacy
- ๐ฑ What it means to find healing โ not in forgetting, but in creating something beautiful
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grieving a sibling, navigating sudden loss, or wondering how to turn pain into purpose.
