We did it. We held our open space event last weekend. I gave a presentation on the Friday and the Saturday was an Open Space for the womb twin survivors to decide what happened. We discussed hoarding, the vanishing twin syndrome, how to help young womb twin survivors, Brent Babcock's book "My twin vanished did yours?" discussed by Brent himself, and much more. On the Sunday we all walked the healing path and lit small candles for our lost twins. Lots of debating chatting mixing hugs tears laughter eating and drinking. I loved it. Where you there? Please leave a comment and let's see what you all thought of the day.
Here's Brent addressing the audience on the subject of the vanishing twin, based on more than twenty years of his work with "vanishing twin" survivors.
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.
