Not alone,

This review is from: The Lone Twin: Understanding Twin Bereavement and Loss (Paperback)
Not knowing any other twins, I used to think it was odd for me to feel grief for a twin who died at only 1 day old. This book changed my mind and made me realize I was not alone. There are chapters devoted to 1.) Twin loss at the time of birth, 2.) Twin loss in childhood, and 3.) Twin loss in adulthood, with first-person accounts of bereaved twins. This is the only book of its kind I've ever seen, and I recommend it to lone twins in helping to deal with the loss of their twin.
