    The Loss of Multiples Support Network (LSN) is for families who have lost one, more or all of their multiple-birth children. The network is also available for adult survivors, grandparents, and those supporting bereaved multiple-birth families. While membership to the Loss Support Network is FREE to any bereaved multiple-birth parent or grandparent, we gratefully accept donations to help cover our costs.

    The Loss of Multiples Support Network provides support for:

    • miscarriage of a multiple pregnancy
    • loss of one, more or all multiples
    • raising the surviving co-multiple(s) or "twinless twin"
    • prematurity, stillbirth, SIDS, other reasons
    • loss in childhood
    • loss in adulthood
    • grieving grandparents
    • adult surviving co-multiples
    • surviving multiple(s) with special needs
    • educating the medical and social service community (e.g. funeral homes) about the unique support requirements of bereaved families
    • recommended bereavement support resources
    • e-newsletter Forever Angels sent out at least 10 times annually
    • confidential e-mail Pen-Pal Angel Communication between members
    • participation in Loss Discussion Forum
    • Loss Support Kit for both parents and professionals (please place your order online or by mail through the Publications Page)
    • After Some Time… an e-questionnaire for families whom have lost their multiple birth child(ren) months or years ago

    We welcome photos of surviving multiples for the Loss Photo Gallery, as well as your story of loss or story of living without your co-multiple.
