Ben was nine years old when his twin brother collapsed from a brain tumor. After a year in a coma and years of paralysis, his brother passed away, leaving Ben to grow up without the person who was supposed to be by his side for life.

In this week's episode, we talk about what it means to lose a twin at such a young age and how that loss evolves over time. Ben shares what grief looked like as a kid, how understanding deepens as you grow up. Why milestones can still feel heavy nearly two decades later and the quiet ways grief shows up in adulthood, and what it’s like to imagine the life they would have shared.

It’s a conversation about identity, growing up, and carrying someone with you even when they’re no longer here.
