I was looking for some good quotes about the Black Hole for the latest chapter of The Book, when I came across Kenneth Williams, and the fact that he most probably committed suicide. Thats not enough to make him a womb twin survivor, except that he wrote a detailed diary for many years and suicide was there from the beginning. My research showed that the incidence of suicide ideation among womb twin survivors (40%) is very much higher than the general population as indicated in another study. Also the stories I get seem to show that among womb twin survivors suicidal feelings can begin to arise as young at 7 years old.
So was Kenneth Williams a womb twin survivor? Take a look and see what you think.
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.
