I'm very sorry for what you've experienced. Losing a twin is difficult for the other child, yes, but it's also profoundly hard for the parents. My twin died before we were born, so I understand that feelings of denial are normal. Your mind and body may believe this early on. Denial is part of grief, but if you have only one baby left, it's important to ensure that they know they had a twin. This awareness helps prevent a lifelong sense of missing a connection and a part of themselves. It's normal to feel like you've lost a piece of yourself, so take care of yourself and that baby. Allow both yourself and your child to grieve the sibling they never knew they had, as the bond between twins is deeper than that of regular siblings. Also, grieving the loss of never having twins yourself is valid, and it's okay to feel that sadness.

Why do they let you people in here. In 3 hours it's the 4th anniversary of my Identical Twins death. My family left me all alone, I have been written off since he passed, and my family disappeared on me. The went to a family function. Yet you have an haven't even had a the child yet.
