SIBLING GRIEF SUPPORT GROUP
For Siblings Who Have Lost a Sibling to Substance Use Disorder or Overdose
As a sibling, we shared a bond forged by our childhoods as well as the ramifications of addiction. The loss of a sibling who suffered from the disease of addiction forever alters our place in our families and the world at large.
LITT is a place to reconcile the anguish, confusion, and pain of our new normal.
What to Expect From Our Grief Group
After speaking with a leader from our team, members are placed in a group to meet monthly by Zoom. The intention behind these meetings is to discuss our grief, the way it has changed our family, and how we move forward in our own lives.
Group leaders are also available for one-on-one confidential conversations and support.

There is no fee to join any of our group. LITT highly respects the privacy and confidentiality of our grief group members. Your information will never be shared outside of the organization
Meet Our Director of Sibling Support & Grief Groups
Olivia is stepping into the role of Director of the sibling groups, both for sibling grief groups for those who have lost a sibling and our sibling support group for anyone who has a brother or sister in active SUD or in recovery. She is aware of the way having a sibling with SUD affects family dynamics and that siblings have their own unique and complicated needs when it comes to navigating their lives in the midst of this illness.
​
Olivia Harrell lives in Baldwin, Maryland, with her husband, two young children, and dogs- a Bulldog named Lola, and a Lab named Daisy. She lost her brother, Griffin, to an accidental overdose from Fentanyl on September 25, 2023. Olivia loves to spend time with her family, make sourdough from scratch, and exercise. She is also incredibly thankful for the community of LITT and invites others with a similar loss to participate in LITT’s Sibling Support Groups.

Sibling Grief Group Leaders
Zach Hockenberry is another of our sibling grief group leaders. Zach's twin sister, Regan Hockenberry, died on January 1st, 2024 of fentanyl poisoning at age 22.
Regan continues to live through the music that Zach makes and the poems and stories that he writes. He loves to find a park bench on a beautiful day and sit with a pen and notebook in his hands. In simple terms, he is an observer of the perfect chaos of life and wishes to help those struggling, including himself, to feel that much more alive, just as Regan does every day.

Born and raised in Baltimore, Audrey has been shaped by the strength of family and community. In March 2019, Audrey lost her older brother to an overdose—a profound loss that became a turning point in her life. The two shared a deep bond, especially through their love of sports, and his guidance and presence continue to influence Audrey every day.
Today, Audrey is honored to serve as a sibling grief group leader. Through active participation in Zach’s LITT meetings, she has found purpose, belonging, and a connection with others who understand the unique pain of losing a sibling. Although the group is united by tragedy, it thrives through shared support, openness, and compassion.
Driven by gratitude and a desire to uplift others, Audrey aims to create a supportive space where siblings navigating loss feel seen, heard, and understood.
