It is very hard to let go of something that you don't know you are holding on to. The survivors of the kind of twin pregnancy that involves one or more unresponsive womb companions - human or not - have a big problem with holding on and letting go.
Somewhere deep down, there is a feeling that some infinitely precious Something or Someone who lurks nearby and just out of sight and awareness, but the presence is crucial to a sense of inner peace and comfort, for only when the twin is near are things as they should be.
And so a silence descends, that may mean you are silent and unresponsive in your behaviour to others in your born life. This is how you keep your Dream alive and communicate that sense of lack of communication to others.
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.
