What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

After loosing my little brother, I found it very difficult to find resources for sibling loss; until I stumbled upon “The Surviving Siblings” Podcast in January 2025. I’ve never felt more seen or included since my brother’s passing. I was given the opportunity to share my grief journey in Season 8 and I still can’t put into words how healing this was for me. I encourage anyone who is navigating how lonely sibling loss can be to take a listen and join this amazing community. Thank you for everything Maya!

By far the best podcast on sibling loss! Maya shares her story in the first season and then, has incredible guests come on and give hope to all the grieving siblings out there. It’s truly such a gift to the grieving sibling community.

I’m so thankful I found your podcast! I lost my brother in May 2022. these episodes have oddly helped me feel less alone. I don’t wish this journey on anyone but I’m glad I’m not alone. I love hearing about siblings and their stories, in a weird way it helps me heal. I’m so sorry you are on this journey with us but I’m so glad I found you, and everything you’ve done with your hard work!

I was recommended this podcast by my therapist. Since losing my sister, September 20, 2023, I had been searching for something like this podcast. I needed to know I was not alone in this grief, it sure felt like it. I was looking for people who understood what it was like to lose a sibling. The pain of losing your sibling is gut wrenching. You expect to lose a grandparent or parent at some point in your life, but your sibling you imagine you will grow old with them. Maya is amazing for creating this safe space to listen to stories of bereaved siblings. With these stories there is a sense of hope that maybe one day this grief will get a little easier and maybe it will not hurt so badly. I know that we will never get over the loss of our siblings, it is nice to have hope that it does get easier. Sending love to the bereaved siblings of the world.
