Enquadramento: a morte de um irmão assinala o fim de umas das relações mais duradouras de um ser humano, podendo causar um grande sofrimento emocional, sendo por isso um tema de extrema importância para os profissionais de saúde. Problema: falta de estudos fenomenológicos que permitam compreender a experiência subjetiva do processo de luto de um irmão. Objetivo: compreender a experiência subjetiva de sujeitos que vivenciaram a morte de um/uma irmão/irmã, as temáticas presentes nesta vivência e como estas se manifestam e influenciam a experiência individual do/da irmão/irmã que fica. Método: estudo qualitativo e transversal, tendo por base o método fenomenológico descritivo, no qual participaram oito sujeitos, com idades entre os 22 e os 57 anos, sendo quatro do sexo feminino e quatro do sexo masculino. Resultados: os participantes afirmam ter uma relação com os irmãos que faleceram, desenvolvendo uma reação à sua morte e um processo de luto, sendo este influenciado pela vivência da família, pelas cerimónias fúnebres, pelas estratégias do processo de luto e pelos grupos de entreajuda/acompanhamento psicológico, tendo esta perda impacto nos participantes e na sua família. Conclusão: os resultados deste estudo estão em linha com a literatura, na medida em que foi possível perceber que a experiência da morte de um irmão é influenciada por diversos fatores e tem um grande impacto na vida dos participantes, sendo que estes desenvolvem estratégias adaptativas.
