Its time now to help the very youngest womb twin survivors. What can we do for babies and preschool children? Now the new book is available for printing (have you ordered yours yet?) its time to develop and deliver the Womb Twin Kids project.
I have been in touch with Rara Schlitt, who is a gifted and sensitive children's book illustrator.
She has created for me 13 beautiful illustrations for the next Womb twin book, "Two little birds." This is an allegory of the loss of a twin, about two little birds who hatched out of the same egg and specially created for young children to read with their parents.
In May and June we will be holding some play therapy sessions for preschool womb twin survivors with their parents. If you live within reach of St Albans in Hertfordshire, England, contact me and come and join in the fun.
If you have a child who is a womb twin survivor, please make a comment here about what has been difficult, what are the rewards, in fact, anything you want to say!
Together we can create some play materials and books to help young womb twin survivors come to terms with their loss and make it easier for parents to talk to them about it.
Looking forward to your comments, and thanks in advance for your help!
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.
