Losing a sister at 15 changes everything. Sophia Allen opens up about the heartbreak of losing Olivia—her sister, her best friend, her constant. She shares what people don’t understand about sibling grief, the loneliness of navigating loss at such a young age, and the trauma that shaped her teenage years. This raw and honest conversation gives voice to the kind of grief that often goes unseen but never goes unfelt.
