“A great job of getting past the clichés of twinship and letting us see the real inner turmoil that can occur as twins each try to work out their journey to becoming a unique individual”

A family loses one twin—amazing, beautiful blog

Image description

A wonderful blogger named Shelly directed me to Tuesday's Story on www.half12.blogspot.com.

The messages on this blog are restrained but also remarkably, generously candid.  The video is poignant and hard to forget.  My book has a chapter on twin loss, called "And Then There was One," which starts with the loss of an adult's twin -- Greg Hoffman lost his identical brother on 9/11--, but I also explore how parents of twins handle the loss of one.  No, the grief isn't necessarily greater than any other, but it's unique.   An organization called CLIMB -- the Center for Loss in Multiple Birth -- is an invaluable source of solace to parents.  http://www.climb-support.org/

(Thank you to Shelly, whose blog should not be missed either: www.loganandjack.blogspot.com.  Beautiful music, Shelly.)
