About Us
The Bereavement Support Group (BSG) exists to support all parents and carers who have lost from a multiple birth whether it was during pregnancy, at birth or afterwards. We are so sorry for your loss and hope that by making contact with the BSG you will find some comfort.
The BSG was established in 1982 in response to requests from parents who had lost a twin. Dr Elizabeth Bryan, a founder member of the the Twins and Multiples Births Association (TAMBA) recognised the special needs of such families and with a parent who had lost a twin, produced the first leaflet of its kind. As more people contacted the group it became clear that families faced with the loss of both twins had yet another set of problems, as did parents who had suffered a cot death. It was clear they would be better supported by parents who had faced a similar loss and this lead to the establishment of our Befrienders Service.
Our new bereavement booklet is now available please register for an electronic copy or include your name and address for a hard copy.
New February 2011 Tamba has produced an new guide for parents on Twin-To-Twin Transfusion Syndrome. So many parents who have suffered from TTTS came forward to help with this booklet and share their stories that Tamba now have a separate electronic booklet for parents who have sufferd a loss from TTTS, if you would like a copy of this booklet please send us an email
