The rule

A person needs to feel a continuous sense of self.

Memories shared with others help maintain this feeling. These memories connect a person's past to their present.

People experience many changes in life. These changes can include aging or loss. Shared memories provide a link to the past. This link helps a person feel like the same person over time. It creates a continuous story of who a person is.

A person feels different as they get older. A sibling reminds the person of childhood events. These shared memories help the person feel connected to their younger self. The person understands they are still the same person inside.
