| 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, and they 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. | ||
