| Abstract: | This study explores the experiences of bereaved siblings in Israel, examining how different causes of death affect their psychological well-being. We recruited three groups of siblings who lost loved ones as a result of military service, terrorism, or civilian circumstances. A total of 159 bereaved siblings completed questionnaires measuring complications of grief (CG), posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and world assumptions. Results indicated that siblings who experienced civilian loss exhibited the highest prevalence of CG, while no significant differences in PTSD levels were observed across the groups. Both CG and PTSD were associated with the world assumptions regarding the benevolence of the world and sense of self-worth. The study also examined how demographic variables influence siblings' well-being and coping with loss. Overall, the findings emphasize the importance of recognizing the unique experiences of bereaved siblings and underscore the necessity of tailored support to address their individualized needs.
