I watched a film about Judy Garland last night. It made me think: such a lot of emotional pain. That alone doesn't make you a womb twin survivor, of course, but it set me wondering. Then I went on to utube and there was a movie with her singing "Me and my Shadow". (That is a fairly obvious metaphor for a person with a womb twin, but again that alone doesnt prove a single thing.) But then there was the self harm, the suicide attempts, personal vulnerability and sabotaged relationships with men....
I am not sure, but if you listen to her singing with an open heart she may speak to you about the pain of loss and the longing to be somewhere else, over the rainbow, where everything will be OK again.....The Dream of the Womb, perhaps?
This was a deleted scene from the Wizard of Oz, probably because it is so very very sad.... Dorothy is imprisoned by the wicked witch.
How do you respond to this?
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.
Very possibly. I think I read she was left handed too, which is much more common in twins.
