There are sick and crippled people who cannot do anything to share in the work. So they adopt a Sister of a Brother, who then involves the sick co-worker fully in whatever he or she does. The two become like one person, and they call each other their second self. I have a second self in Belgium, and when I was last there, she said to me, "I am sure you are going to have a heavy time, with all the walking and working and talking. I know this from the pain I have in my spine." That was just before her seventeenth operation. Each time I have something special to do, it is she behind me that gives me all the strength and courage to do it.
