In this episode, we outline ways to establish goals for sibling estrangement and self-esteem, based upon Nathanial Branden's book, Six Pillars of Self-Esteem. Specifically, we determine how to build upon successes and learn from perceived failures. We identify tools for mindful living, so that we can become more present and prepare for a brighter future in the wake of sibling loss.
