Chelsea captioned: '33 years ago this month my brother Chet died. He was 22, and the oldest of 6 kids. We were never 6 again. Only 5. The number was never the right number again.

The 42-year-old comedian and writer shared a picture of her older brother Chet, explaining that he passed away 33 years ago to the day 'But, because of that day, I learned how to live and love and laugh and to: Show up. Stand up. Love up. Argue. Fight. Make up. Show up again. Go to bat for people. Tell them you love them. 'Defend your friends. Stand up for yourself. Give away the things you have in excess. Give away the things you love the most. 'This is the only chance we get. Make it count. Live a little,' she concluded. The eldest Handler sibling died after he fell off a cliff in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, over three decades ago. She told People last year how she was able to find something positive out of one of the darkest times for her family. 'Seeing your parents fall apart is really rough,' Handler told the publication, continuing: 'I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. 'As hard as it was for me or for my brothers or sisters – [how did it feel] for my parents to have your own child in danger in that way? And then you can’t protect them and you couldn’t save them? 'In hindsight it really kept us as a tight-knit group, because it was so tragic and awful. Ultimately, it was kind of a beautiful gift because we all value each other so much.' Handler, whose Netflix talk show Chelsea debuted in May 2016, also fondly recalled taking care of Chet when he would come home from engineering school. 'I was, like, 7 or 8, and he would come home and I would make him cereal when he would come home late from school, from college, and I would put it in a bowl and act like I made him dinner, and look after him,' Handler shared with them. 'You have all these beautiful memories,' she said, and added, 'and that’s enough sometimes.'
