A collection of seventy poignant personal stories written by wombtwin survivors arising out of the Wombtwin Survivors Project. Edited by myself with a foreword by Elizabeth Noble, author of "Primal Connections" and an expert on pre-natal psychotherapy. These stories, published anonymously, reveal that the loss of a twin before birth does leave a marked impression on the survivor. The stories describe some of the physical signs that there was once a twin, such as a foetus papyraceous or an ultrasound image of two sacs. They 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 my personal story as an epilogue.
