Cindy Crawford is reflecting on her younger brother Jeff, who died when she was a child, and how she and her sisters had 'survivors guilt' for living.
Years after her brother's death, Cindy Crawford is opening up about her experience of losing a sibling. Crawford described what it was like growing up in a home with a sick sibling, revealing that she and her sisters weren't entirely privy to the severity of her brother's condition – he was battling leukemia. 'I was 8, my older sister would have been 10.
After learning of his diagnosis, the family divided and conquered. Crawford's mother was responsible for taking Jeff to receive cancer treatment two hours away while her father worked to pay the bills. 'I mean we kind of had to get pawned off on aunts and uncles and grandmas, and fortunately, we had an extended family in our town.,' she said of herself and her sisters.
Crawford said that after Jeff passed away, her mother made a conscious decision to keep pushing forward for her three other children, something Crawford only understood later in her life after having her son, Presley. 'When he died, obviously that was devastating for the whole family. I think for my mother, she was able and chose to really grieve properly. She went to death and dying courses. She has a very strong faith. So she was able to move through grief.
