If you are a monozygotic twin survivor, then you are focussed always on that missing half of yourself, trying to fill the emptiness inside. That means your energy is focussed inwardly, towards yourself. Others may call that egotism or self obsession, but to you it feels like the only way to survive. It is as of you are consciously making an effort to keep some part of you alive. It is your lost half, your identical twin.
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.
