There is scarce research on "the forgotten bereaved"--the children and adolescents who lose a sibling by suicide. In this paper we explore their psychosocial situation and needs for assistance through a Norwegian nationwide study. The results show that particularly younger bereaved siblings are suffering from posttraumatic and grief reactions, depression, and anxiety. Most of the difficulties are not individual, but rather relational and social in nature, and largely contextually dependent. Necessary help is impeded due to the extraordinary experience leaving the siblings outside the circle of friends and parental grief community. A systematic outreach help program is presented.
关于“被遗忘的遗属”——那些因自杀而失去兄弟姐妹的儿童和青少年，几乎没有相关研究。在本文中，我们通过一项挪威全国性研究，探讨了他们的心理社会状况以及对援助的需求。结果表明，尤其是较年幼的遗属兄弟姐妹正遭受创伤后反应、悲伤反应、抑郁和焦虑的折磨。大多数困难并非个体性的，而是本质上与人际关系和社会相关，并且在很大程度上取决于具体情境。由于这种特殊经历使这些兄弟姐妹置身于朋友和父母的悲伤群体圈子之外，必要的帮助受到了阻碍。本文提出了一个系统性的外展帮助计划。
