Well yesterday I discovered on the TAMBA forum that ITN were looking for a family with a vanished twin. I decided to send them my press release. As a result I got a call last evening asking me to come for an interview. This I did and got home in time to see me (Oh dear is THAT what I really look like??) on the ITV news today 15th Feb, 1.30pm and 6.30pm GMT. A tiny little snippet, but it's a start.
I also had 5 questionnaire forms waiting for a response. The most ever in one day. I make a personal response to each one. I spent the last couple of days putting some tiny little explanatory boxes on each of the first set of questions, to make sure that the respondents understand what they are answering. They click a question mark and there it is. Amazing. They may have helped.
When a twin dies before birth, the sole survivor needs help and understanding. Womb twin survivors are the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy. This group, 1 in 10 of the population, includes survivors of a stillbirth, miscarriage, abortion and a "vanishing twin" pregnancy. It is a story of a twin bond broken by death, leaving a lonely survivor.
