A collection of seventy poignant personal stories written by womb twin survivors ( that is, the sole survivors of a twin or multiple pregnancy) arising out of the Womb Twin Survivors Project. Edited by Althea Hayton, with a foreword by Elizabeth Noble, author of "Primal Connections" and an expert on pre-natal psychotherapy. These are true stories, published anonymously, reveal that the loss of a twin before birth does leave a marked impression on the survivor. They describe some of the physical signs that there was once a twin, such as a fetus papyraceous or an ultrasound image of two sacs.
The stories also reveal that there is a deep psychological effect on the surviving twin which takes many forms, including a sense of something missing; imaginary friends and feeling alone, even among friends. The longer stories describe a difficult journey in search of healing - a journey that ends with a ritual of letting go. The anthology includes a glossary and Althea Hayton's personal story as an epilogue, for she is a womb twin survivor herself.

A path to healing for womb twin survivors set out in thirty steps, with exercise and reflections at every stage. The stages begin with a consideration of how the vague and confused imprint of the first weeks of life form a vague impression that is maintained in the mind as a kind of Dream of the Womb. Essentially, the healing path is a gradual process whereby wombtwin survivors can awaken from the Dream to the reality of their inner strength and potential for growth.Read an extract (PDF download) before you buy
