As the winter solstice comes and goes, we pass from the darkness of winter into the light and warmth of summer.
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.

A Womb Twin Day message to all womb twin survivors
Today on the feast of St Thomas, we remember and honour our womb twins.
As the winter solstice comes and goes, we pass from the darkness of winter into the light and warmth of summer.

STOP PRESS ! A new idea for Christmas!
We have a new fundraising idea for the Womb Twin Fund - a way to display the emails you get
for Christmas that remain on your computer and are not displayed,
simply because they are too cumbersome to print out and put up somewhere
for everyone to see, alongside all the other Christmas cards.
But we have the answer! An e-card display set!
We have made a set of golden cards and colourful stickers that are easy to assemble into a display, which that will hang on the wall with your other Christmas cards, showing the names of everyone who remembered you at Christmas.

All proceeds will go to our Womb Twin Fund, so do take a look at this page on the Womb Twin site and learn more.
These sets are not available anywhere else, the idea is completely new.
Be the first to astonish your friends with a our set of golden cards
and little pegs, all held together in a neat wallet, enough for three
Christmases and only £3.50!

Books for womb twin survivors: A Silent Cry
In early 2008 I had such a wonderful collection of stories, written for me by womb twin survivors as part of the research questionnaire, that I thought it was time for another anthology, this time of stories written by womb twin survivors and published in their own words. .
The response took my breath away! Womb twin survivors were so glad to know that at last they would be heard and taken seriously, that within a month I had seventy stories! Every contributor was given a complimentary copy of the book.
The title was taken directly from an email I received from a director of the Twinless Twins Support Group International...
