I just read her entire tribute, I’ve never read anything like that before, it broke me. She should be a writer tbh.

losing a sibling must feel like a piece of you dying.. i don’t think you can be 100 percent happy again.

I have a twin brother. I don’t know if I could go on living without him. My mom and dad both took their lives and life has been so difficult. Being with him saved me.

It was gut wrenching to read. My brother didn’t die but I lost him to extreme religion and he hasn’t talked to me in 7 years. He was my best friend. It’s a different kind of pain and grief but her letter really struck a nerve. Beautiful writing

Reading that as someone who lost their older brother gutted me to my core. So raw and real. Sibling grief isn’t talked about enough but it’s devastating

With all of the books that Kaia has read, she said none of them gave her answers for this. I’ve never read a tribute like that.

As someone who lost their older brother when he was 25 and I was 21 I will not be reading. A piece of you dies.

Her letter shows infinite love. She starts by saying that words mean nothing and yet her words are touching thousand of people now.
