*hugs you tight* I firmly believe Mark is watching over you all and joining in the celebrations, no matter what they are. You and yours will be in my thoughts today.

Such a sad day for all of you. It's good that you're taking Mike to dinner, though - this is good time for you to be together.

My heart goes out to your whole family. It's so hard to go on without a sibling. I can't imagine losing a twin.

It is so hard to imagine the emptiness of losing a twin. You will all be holding you all in my heart today.

Yes, do celebrate Mike's birthday, and let there be a time for some good memories to come through.

Happy birthday to Mike & Mark. I'm glad you're going out to dinner - it's a good time to be together, as Mary said.

Thinking of your family...

If I lost my twin I think I'd celebrate but on a different day. That particular day would be too rough. I hope all goes well.

My condolences and prayers to you and your family. Its good to celebrate the life as much as to mourn the passing. Think about all the good times and fun, that may make things a bit easier.

My best wishes to you, your family, and Mark. I am very glad that you found this information, because it seems that while it was sort of "general" knowledge that losing a twin would be a traumatic experience, I don't think that the psychological literature started investigating it until fairly recently. I mean, there's someone who not only (may) look exactly like you, you share SO much, and it would be difficult to start thinking of yourself as a single entity after being a twin for so long, no matter if you're an adult with seperate lives.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I lost my only brother and a big part of me died with him, but I can't imagine how difficult it must be for your brother. The connection with twins is so unique and intricate, it must be unbearable at times.

Hi Steph, I just figured out how to get to your from the link on my email so I am catching up. I didn't know you recently lost a brother. I am sorry for yours and your family's loss. It's true about identical twins. My dad and Uncle Don are identical twins. They are 68 and are as close as the way you describe it in your blog. There is a support group called Compassionate Friends for parents and siblings who have had this type of loss. It's not something you get over but something you learn to live with for the rest of your life. I am living with the loss of my son Michael who would have been 26 on this July 4. He died five and a half years ago. Well I'm glad I finally learned how to get to your blog. I thought the email was the blog--lol. I just didn't get it!! Sorry. Take care. Love, LeAnn
