Cindy Crawford Opens Up About Feeling ‘Survivor Guilt’ Following Brother’s Death
Cindy Crawford recently opened up about her struggles with “survivor guilt” following the death of her brother from leukemia at a young age. Speaking on the “Kelly Corrigan Wonders” podcast, the supermodel discussed how her father had longed for a boy before her brother Jeffrey was born, leading to feelings of guilt among her and her siblings. Cindy revealed that she and her sisters often had nightmares about feeling like it should have been one of them instead.
Married to Rande Gerber and mother to two children, Cindy shared how recent therapy sessions had helped her confront the raw emotions she had buried for years. Reflecting on her childhood, she realized that she had needed to hear words of comfort and reassurance from her family following her brother’s passing. Cindy emphasized the importance of open communication and support in dealing with grief, especially for children who may not know how to express their feelings.
As a fashion icon and a household name in the modeling industry, Cindy highlighted the different ways in which death was treated during her childhood compared to today. She recalled the lack of acknowledgment and support she received from her peers when she returned to school after her brother’s death, underscoring the need for more open conversations around grief and loss. Cindy’s own experiences have influenced her parenting style, as she strives to create a safe and supportive environment for her children to express their emotions.
Cindy’s journey through therapy and self-reflection has allowed her to process her complex emotions surrounding her brother’s death and confront the lingering feelings of guilt and sadness. By sharing her story, she hopes to raise awareness about the importance of mental health support and open communication in dealing with grief and trauma. Cindy’s resilience and strength serve as an inspiration to others who may be struggling with similar feelings of survivor guilt or loss.
If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulties or in crisis, help is available through resources such as the Lifeline at 988 or their website. Seeking support and professional help can make a significant difference in coping with grief and mental health challenges, and no one has to go through difficult times alone. Cindy’s story is a reminder of the power of vulnerability and seeking help in navigating life’s toughest moments.
