Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This text takes the reader through the closeness of being a twin, including its negative aspects and their need to be different to one another. But what happens when twins are separated, especially by death? The text examines death and bereavement of twins, including the parental attitudes to the surviving twin, the surviving twin's guilt, coping, bereavement in childhood and adulthood. The book also covers the psychological effects in later life for children who lost their twin at birth. Throughout, the book is illustrated by the words of lone twins themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not alone, July 11, 2007
By M. Bearse (Allston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
