Heirlooms, though, can also realign the remaining family. "In some cases, siblings rearrange the hierarchy of the family around the object," says Levy. "Whoever got the dining room set becomes the host for family dinners." Whether dinners or other family rituals will carry on, though, is up to the surviving children. "I think my parents were the mortar between the bricks as far as the family goes," says Paul Kane, 39. Seven years ago, he and his three siblings lost both parents within six months of each other. "After they died, we, as individuals, had to make more effort...

...Well, it's never really jam style. Philosophically we object to "I can improvise all day, and do that Phish thing and we'll all just play together and it will be cool." When someone has an idea, and some guitar riffs, they'll come in and throw them out, usually with a couple of verses and a chorus, or some sort of progression.
