Stephen Stott

Stephen survived the car accident his sister, Stacy, died in.

He now works with grieving siblings to navigate sibling grief without having to talk about it—because sometimes talking can make you feel worse, and sometimes there aren’t words to say, but you still feel the heavy weight of grief.

Even in his own grief journey, one of the things that helped him was sports—something he and Stacy shared: gymnastics, cheerleading, and dance. These aren’t things you “talk through.” They’re things you do. Movement helped Stephen’s body release some of the stress and tension that can come with sibling grief.

Stephen later earned his Master’s in Social Work to gain more tools to support people through grief, crisis, and trauma. He combines both his personal and professional experience to focus on supporting people who’ve experienced sibling loss and are living with sibling grief. And even though Stephen provided therapy in the past, he now works with grieving siblings through body-based techniques—so they can express the grief that feels stuck in the body, even when talking doesn’t help.
