book-twinloss.jpg Twin Loss,by Raymond W. Brandt, PhD: Dr. Brandt was the founder of Twinless Twins Support Group and was considered by many an authority on twin loss. The 400-page book discusses all aspects of the loss and also speaks to the family members on how to help the survivor twin.


The founder of TTSGI, Dr. Raymond W. Brandt, had been a survivor twin for 52 years from his identical twin, Robert’s, accidental death. He brought his years of experience as a scientist, researching in-utero bonding and serving as Founder/Director of Twinless Twins Support Group, Int’l. Dr. Brandt interviewed literally thousands of survivor twins and his personal twin loss grief had given him a peculiar and particular sensitivity for other twinless that suffer the loss of their utero bonded twinship.
His book, TWIN LOSS, is focused upon the unique pain of grief which a twin suffers when their twin deceases or becomes terminal in health. Due to the life long effect of utero-bonding, which impacts intensely during fetal development, a twinless twin experiences varying degrees of grief pain and loneliness the rest of their life. Survivor twins are never able to get beyond their loss of companionship of their “womb-mate”. Twinless twins will often say, “I only feel one-half alive,” or “I feel a large void in my life and it never goes away even after years of suffering and searching.” “I cannot get on with my life because my life is not all here.”
 
In addition to coping skills for twinless in the book, there are also reviews of what the twin’s support family can do for their twinless survivor member. There are aids for parents of infant and children age survivor twins. There are helps for the teenager twinless, the single adult and the married adult twinless. Some specific types of twin demise are discussed i.e., suicide, murder, AIDS.
