I was informed by events during my participation in a family Constellation Workshop that I had a twin. The person acting 'me' was acting frightened and angry and the facilitator moved a cushion (representing my twin) next to her and she immediately relaxed and felt supported.
After that I had a dream in which my identical twin featured and was preventing me from casting my fishing rod into a river. I had hooked an ankh cross (symbol of life) and she grabbed it saying "that's mine!" There have been many nudges since then (through dreams and art and actual events) showing me that I lost her in the first trimester.
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.
I was very moved by your story. What a way to find out, during a Family constellation workshop! Angry and frightened because of the lack of perceived support, that about sums it up for me as well.
ReplyDeletePity this isn't a forum as I would've liked hear a bit more.
Family constellation is a great way to find out about your twin. Our post conference workshop this year will be about the family constellation way of working. And there is a forum for womb twin survivors! See http://www.wombtwin.com
