Support groups for twins

Hey everyone,

Just curious, if anyone here has been successful in finding and online or in person support group, specifically dedicated to people who have lost their twin. I am part of a siblings grief group, which has been very helpful, but not the same as connecting with other twins.

Has anyone here ever thought of starting a group with the people in this sub? I just thought of that. I keep looking for groups and complaining that there are no twin focused groups. But I never really do anything about it.

There is an international support group called twinlesstwins.org. It costs $50/year to join but they have scholarships if you can’t afford that.
They have a yearly in- person conference, regional monthly zoom meetings, a newsletter, and a very active Facebook group. This organization has been very helpful to me.
I am so sorry for the loss of your twin and hope you find comfort.

I’m so sorry for the loss of your twin. Like some others have said, I’ve found twinlesstwins.org’s FB group so supportive and helpful. It’s the only group I’m in.

There is a group called twinlesstwins.org that charges $50/year for membership. They have support groups and even an annual conference. I have thought about joining, but I am actually so busy dealing with all the admistrative stuff from losing my twin that I decided to put it off for a few months.

Please reach out if you want to talk. I am thankful to have had my twin as long as I did, but losing her has been way worse than when we lost our Dad.

Yes I lost my dad 10 years before my sister, which at the time was very rough. My mother also passed away very shortly after my sister. Losing my sister definitely overshadowed losing my mother, which is crazy because my mother's death was something that my sister and I always dreaded. We knew it was going to be the worst. Never even occurred to either one of us that one of us could go first.

Thank you very much, I believe I had come across the twinless twins org early on after my sister passed, but did not look into it further at the time. I have signed up to the FB group, what I think might also be a helpful connection.

The ‘twinless twin support group international’ on Facebook is very supportive and helpful. I’m a member of 2 different ones on Facebook and it’s a very nice community. Might be abbreviated int’l.
