Hi Jessica, This isn't 'home alone' exactly, but I do have personal experience with going home with one baby instead of two. My daughter had very premmie twins, one died at age 2/7. Sids and Kids also offers support for stillbirth and neonatal death as well as the other groups that others have mentioned. Another internet group is Ozmost (Aust Mothers of Surviving Twins) which my daughter found most helpful. It's also important to recognise the extended family as well as the parents and siblings when such an event occurs. I was trying to support and help my daughter and family through this whilst also experiencing my own grief through losing my little granddaughter. My daughter's partner made a video as a way of dealing with his grief - he found that really helpful, and this video is now being used in some of the major maternity hospitals to educate staff and to support parents in a similar situation. Email me privately if you would like to 'talk' more and I know that my daughter would be happy to talk to you as well. All the best, Joy
