Personal experiences of bereaved twins, parents of twins, and their carers.
We invited bereaved twins, parents of twins and carers to describe some of their personal experiences. We are grateful to all of them for their brave candour. We gave extra space to Kathy's story about the impacts of the loss of her own twin because it vividly illustrates the profound connections twinship can generate. Similarly we thought the cruelly long and complex saga of the life and death of Maxine's twins could help understanding of the distressing repercussions that often attend the low birth weight and prematurity that are so common amongst multiple births.
