This video was helpful to me. I'm a survivor of an attempted abortion but the doctor and my Mom believed a twin was taken since they both had evidence of a successful abortion, but there is no medical confirmation. A few weeks later my Mom was told she was 4 months pregnant. I'm 74 years old so it was many years ago. I've felt alone much of my childhood but thought it was due to emotional neglect, as my Mom had trouble loving due to tremendous grief from becoming a widow when pregnant with me, and my twin. This video helps me with further understanding of my childhood loneliness. I came to faith in God through Jesus Christ at age 31 and finally felt the Love, Acceptance and Worth I've always longed for. Thank you.

I have always known I had a twin, though my parents never said anything until I was about 13 , and then nervously contradicted themselves “oh wait I just looked it up it didn’t happen” that sort of thing. I’m not religious but I’m very spiritual, and I’ve seen other evidence. I have a sense of longing a lot, but I can feel my sibling’s presence when they’re there. The biggest example of this was one night when I was looking at my phone. An ad came on and I set it down and closed my eyes to give my eyes a break. I saw multiple white dashes and realized it wasn’t my phone because my eyes were closed. I sat up dazed and I just knew. To this day I don’t know the purpose of this but all I know is it was my twin. I’ve never felt anything stronger. Ever.
