Summary

What makes the twin connection so special and different from other relationships?

Author, twin loss advocate, and twinless twin herself, Tasha Cram, joins me to dive deep into the twin dynamic. We talk about Tasha’s story of loss as a child, twin development, synchronization between twins, the twin connection after one in the pair leaves Earth, and so much more.

Even if you’re a “singleton” (non-twin), this episode is fascinating and teaches us more about just how interconnected humans are with each other.

Topics We Discuss:

[1:30] Tasha’s story of twin loss. Her twin died just a few weeks before they turned 4 years old. She was so young that she didn’t fully comprehend the loss and grief. It took many years and a health scare for her to understand change was needed. She began learning about complicated grief and the identity crisis twins experience.

[5:11] Twin development & relationship. Twins synchronize with each other the way mothers and fetuses do. Many believe that the twin relationship dies when one of the original pair dies, but twinless twins can synchronize with other single twins.

[8:03] What is synchronization? The physiological syncing between other single twins. Mannerisms, voice inflections, etc are picked up on very quickly between them.

[10:55] Twin brains and intuition. Their intuition is so strong because they shared a womb-space. Babies are so connected with their mothers because they gestate within their mothers. The body connects in a different way because they are hardwired together.

[13:02] Twin loss vs other loss. Twins share an identity, unlike singleton siblings, so they experience not just grief, but a total identity crisis without their counterpart.

[16:30] Disappearing twins in utero. The one who is born is still wired like a twin, but they never got to have the experience of living with a twin. They often still feel like something is missing until they sync with another twin that they meet. They can tap into others’ experiences by hearing stories from other twins about their experiences.

[22:03] Twin superpowers. Besides strong intuition, they can read and feel energy very well. Their powers don’t go away once their twin dies. Once their twin is gone, they have to re-discover themselves as a twin. It’s a very complicated grief process.

[26:37] Experiences Tasha had with her late twin. Right after her twin Tonya passed, Tasha saw Tonya’s soul. Tasha started having dreams of her twin once she began processing her grief as an adult. She gets downloads from her twin when she takes the time to intentionally connect with her.

[31:06] Tasha’s twin-centered projects. Twinful, twin-loss support group, her journey of a thousand hugs. After someone in her twinless twin support group committed suicide, Tasha felt the need to do more for the community. She also makes and send tie-blankets to twinless twins around the world.

0:00.0	I didn't understand any of this, Amy, until I had met my first twin-lost-twin.
0:06.0	And it took me four decades to get the courage to do that.
0:09.2	But as soon as I crossed paths with a gal by the name of Lisa Watson, her twin had only been gone for five months.
0:15.8	My twin had been gone for four decades.
0:18.1	By the time we left, we had synchronized.
0:28.3	Hi, I'm Dr. Amy Robbins and welcome to life, death, and the space between podcast.
0:35.0	Today, we have Tasha Cramm on the show. If you are a twin and have lost a twin,
0:41.6	you probably know her. But if you don't, don't turn this episode off because you think it
0:47.6	only applies to you if you have a twin. This episode applies to anybody who's experienced any loss because it speaks to the deep, deep connections that we have with one another, regardless of what our relationships were in this life.
1:04.3	And Tasha is going to share with us today her experience of loss with her twin, but also how profound and deep their connection
1:14.7	still is, even though her twin is not with her on this plane. So welcome, Tasha. Thank you, Amy.
1:23.7	I appreciate you inviting me. Well, I know we spoke before a little bit just so I could have a sense for your story.
1:32.1	But could you start by telling my listeners a bit about this story?
1:36.7	Because it wasn't, you lost your twin sister when she was just three.
1:42.0	You were both just three.
1:44.0	And the path that it took to sort of understand the implications of that loss was a long path.
1:51.5	It didn't happen suddenly.
1:53.3	It was over the course of your life.
1:55.0	So can you share with us that story and how your role as really kind of the head of a community around twin loss came to be.
2:06.1	Absolutely. So yes, she passed actually 19 days before our fourth birthday. So I was blessed to
2:12.5	have her for almost that full fourth year. And I came to understand that I was so young that my brain
2:20.8	had not fully developed. And so the concept of processing grief was not even in my consciousness
