"Losing a co-multiple in childhood or adulthood can lead to a whole range of confusing and sometimes conflicting emotions for the survivor(s). The loss may be caused by estrangement or by death from an illness, accident or crime. You are not alone and contact with other surviving multiples - in Australia and around the world - will allow you to share your feelings with others who have also experienced the special feelings of a twin or triplet+ relationship.

Rosemary Stark in a UK newspaper article: The everlasting sadness of a lone twin
