Twin Conference Testimonials:
The conference was a turning point in my grief.
This is the only group of people on the planet who understand. The Twinless Twins Conference is a life-changing event.
It is a true miracle of transformation...from all alone in a darkness that only a twinless twin could know, to a family and network of Twinless Twins to start a new, healing journey.
Nobody understood when I said how "alone" I felt or expressed that I didn't know how to be one.
No one has a clue what it's like to have half your soul ripped out. After half a century together as one, now I must be merely a half.

Twinless Twins
Support Group
International
Welcome to a unique support
group that helps twinless twins
"heal by helping" other twins.
We provide support for twins and other
multiples who have lost their twin due to death
or estrangement at any age. The unique
aloneness we feel can best be understood by
another twinless twin.
You are not alone
Our mission is to provide a safe and compassionate community for twins to experience healing, understanding, and a desire to help others cope
with the loss of their twin.
We invite you to become a member. Your $50 fee will help ensure support for future twins. It is important that we continue to promote healing and recognition of twinloss and its grief.
• Support people are volunteer twinless twins, not professionals •

Twin Loss In The Words Of Our 2009 Keynote Conference Speaker Mary R. Morgan, L.M.S.W.
When we lose a twin, it feels to many like the literal end of our lives. That is true, in that it is the end of life as we have known it since the moment of our conception. As one twin explained: “The day my twin died, the lights went out.” Another twin said to me, “After Daphne died, it was as if I couldn’t breathe. I’d never in my life thought about breathing. I just took it for granted that Daphne and my breath were part of being alive.”
When our twin dies, we must begin to breathe again; we must begin again with our lives, starting with what truly feels like the end.

2010 Conference Keynote Speaker Joan Woodward via a Video Interview with
Mary R. Morgan in England / Q&A with Mary will follow
Joan Woodward lost her identical twin sister when they were three years old. Because she had not, to her knowledge, met any other lone twins to discover if they shared similar feelings to her own, she embarked many years later, on the first study ever done on the effect of twin loss on the surviving twin. In 1989 she set up The Lone Twin Network to enable lone twins to meet regularly and to contact each other. Her book ‘The Lone Twin’ was published in 1998. READ MORE
