My mom became unexpectedly pregnant with me and my twin. My birth father wanted us aborted and dropped her off at clinic but she walked home.
She suffered a lot of abuse from him before she was pregnant and some while she was. She lost my twin at 6 months in womb and was in hospital and had steroids so my lungs would develop in time.
I was born two months later. I always felt disconnected and like something was missing. When I was young I just asked her if I was a twin and she told me I was and what happened.
We were nonidentical and his name would have been Kaleb. I am grateful to be alive and thankful for much healing that Jesus has brought me.
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.
