Life, as we all know, may not be fair and an experience that should only be associated with joy and fruition may, in some cases, turn to one of anguish and deep sadness when babies die either before birth or after. Indeed, the advent of new reproductive technologies have not only granted many more parents a multiple birth opportunity, they have also increased the likelihood that some fetuses or infants will not survive. What follows are personal accounts of such loss experiences. They bravely and eloquently recount the emotional and adaptative challenges created by loss in the multiple birth experience.
