Twin loss is not an easy subject to talk about, but one that should be addressed nonetheless. Some parents who discover they are expecting twins will inevitably end up with a twinless twin after birth, and commonly during the pregnancy itself. There are several causes, too many to list. This type of loss is unique, bittersweet really. One child is mourned while the other is celebrated. A dichotomy of emotion too complicated to understand without having experienced it personally. And, for those parents that have been through twin loss, it's a brave journey, indeed.
