I was delighted to find that there is a twin-less twins forum based in Perth Australia. Anyone in Australia want to be a poster here on our world blog?

I found a blog about womb twin survivors there.

BREAKTHROUGH!!
It's such good news & something that needs to be shouted about, semaphored & signalled & shared all around. We've another healed person here in Ireland. Yes, we know someone else who has completed their journey from the "Doom of the Womb" to "Light & Delight." It's really important that this is made known because some people who've lost womb mates don't believe that healing is possible. It absolutely is.
If you choose not to heal that's perfectly ok; it's your right. And it's so important that you know that you can heal if you wish to. Let's have a quick look at reasons for allowing yourself to heal:
1. You will have more energy to direct outward into the world for your good & the good of those around you.
2. It makes the death of your womb twin/s less tragic because now you're fully able to make the most of your life. (They were unable to have a life - when healed you can live fully - in a way making up for their loss.)
3. You can be an inspiration to other people who've lost womb twins - who are they going to relate to better: a therapist who's speaking from a theoretical view point or to you who knows what it's like to grieve for the closest beings you could ever know?
4. This Ghandi quote relates to the last point: "Be the change you want to see in the world." When you allow yourself to heal, you allow the world to heal.
Why not look at what this newly-healed one has to say?

Womb Twin Gathering in New York
I live in Texas, a long way away from New York, and am in the midst of getting my latest novel--a historical fiction about a womb twin survivor--ready for launch late this summer, (details to come later) so I am sad that I can't attend the U.S. Womb Twin Gathering, but I will be sending positive thoughts their way.
The U.S. blog describes the gathering:
- Did you, or someone you know, lose a twin or multiple in the womb or at birth?
- Are you a social worker or therapist who would benefit from finding out more about this soon-to-be classified condition?
- Do you have vague feelings & behaviors related to incompleteness/self-sabotage for which there is no other explanation?
Agenda as follows:
12:00-12:45pm - All: Share our womb story
12:45-2:00pm - All: Updates on each of our healing journeys
2:00-2:15pm - (Break)

Hoarding, Clutter, Holding: Take the Survey
We need to get down to a real understanding of how "hoarding/clutter/holding on to things" is related to being a womb twin survivor (if at all!) So I have made an online survey. (There was a rather pathetic Wuffoo survey a while ago but that was not very helpful. This one is a bit more wide- ranging and may point to something useful.)
