I know what you mean, my world turned upside down in July when I lost my twin. We weathered the loss of both of our parent by the time we were 12. The pool of close friends and nearby relatives has dwindled to a trickle. I tried to keep busy. The hardest part is not being able to pickup the phone and hassle him or just share news or BS. It is not easy. It leaves a big hole.
