The current study investigated the unique congenital loss experiences of those who lost a twin sibling in utero. Through analysis of interviews with 18 Jewish Israeli participants who encountered this type of twin loss, a more comprehensive understanding of their experiences was attempted. The research employed a hybrid methodology, combining two qualitative thematic analysis methods: deductive and data-driven inductive approaches. The analysis revealed four themes: incoherency and uncertainty, ownership over a limited story, continuing an unborn bond, and the identity of a "twin-less" twin. The findings underscore the unique nature of twin loss in utero. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
