Can you imagine the “survivors “ guilt the remaining twin will have if they ever learn of this?
Many years ago I knew a woman that found out she was pregnant with children 5 & 6 . All her children were close in age.. she pled with her doctor to do something. He gave her a medicine that would cause an abortion of the pregnancy .
She took it and thought she had “lost” the babies.. a month later she found out only one of the babies had been murdered. She carried the survivor to term .
I could not help but wonder every time she looked at her child..did she think of the one she killed??
I pray that guilt follow this couple the rest of their lives ...
Several years ago, my brother's sister-in-law was pregnant with twins and one of the babies died around six months of pregnancy. To reduce the risk to the live baby they didn't do any surgery, so there was one stillborn and one life birth.
When the little boy was around four years old they told him about his dead twin brother, he had ALWAYS known that there was a missing brother.
