My twin sister Clara was presumed dead after a horrific car crash 10 years ago<\/strong>. We had a closed-casket funeral, and I spent years rebuilding my life without her.<\/p>\n

Clara was alive.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When I arrived, she looked exactly like the sister I had buried.<\/p>\n

She remembered childhood secrets only Clara could know. But then she revealed the shocking truth: she had survived the crash with severe memory loss.<\/p>\n

She eventually remembered who she was\u2014and remembered me six years ago<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Eventually, we agreed to start over\u2014not as the twins we used to be, but as two sisters discovering each other again.<\/p>\n

Sometimes getting someone back doesn’t mean getting back the person you lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
