Abstract
Abstract This study explores siblings’ experiences of family relations before their siblings’ drug-related death. A qualitative approach inspired by reflexive thematic analysis was chosen for the analysis. Four men and ten women, aged 23–61 and representing all regions of Norway, were interviewed. Three themes were identified: (1) A changed view of both their sibling and personal relationship, (2) Changed patterns of communication in the family and (3) Coping strategies . The results are discussed through the lens of family systems theory and salutogenesis.
