Kathleen Folbigg on her wrongful conviction and how the truth — and science — freed her
By Fiona Purcell
After being exonerated for the deaths of her four infant children, Kathleen Folbigg is adjusting to life after 20 years wrongfully imprisoned — thanks to the enduring support of her lifelong friend and biggest advocate, Tracy Chapman.
Great to be part of the discussion at ODI Global think tank's book launch and film screening on small island developing states faced with the reality of a #climate crisis. Thanks Emily Wilkinson, Jack Corbett, Avinash Persaud Matthew Bishop (Dr) for insights on a subject that is all too often overlooked.

TWIN WIHTOUT A TWIN
LIVING AS A TWIN WITHOUT THEIR TWIN BRINGS GRIEF, GUILT AND THE NEED FOR HEALING
Observing identical or fraternal twins is often a fascinating phenomenon. Two siblings sharing genetic makeup, similar mannerisms and a mirror image are unique.
The world of twins is extremely extraordinary.
But when one twin dies and the other is left to navigate life on their own, the remaining person, who has been entangled with their twin conception, is left alone, claiming the identity of a twinless twin.
In Coping with the Loss of a Twin; Understanding the Unique Challenges and Finding Support, Adrian Diaz explores how twins who are left on their own navigate their lives and find support.
“Twins share a unique connection, often formed in the womb, that continues throughout their lives. This bond is not just physical, but emotional, psychological, and sometimes even spiritual,” he writes.
Diaz goes on to say that when a twin dies, the remaining twin feels an intense sense of loss and struggles to redefine their identity as a person.
Having personal experience as a twin, the bond is strong and all encompassing. Living as identical twins for four months, reports from family members say that the two of us were happy and content. After the unfortunate death of my twin due to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), life took on a different meaning.
SIDS, also known as Crib Death, is an unexplained death that happens to an infant up to one year old, but most commonly between the ages of one to four months.
The remaining baby twin feels a sense of loss and confusion and often searches for their twin. Irritability and crying can occur.
Surviving twins have affirmed a feeling of ‘survivor’s guilt’, or a consistent guilty feeling about why they were able to live while their twins died. This relates to twins of any age.
In her article, The Unique Experience of Twins Dealing with Grief: Survivor’s Guilt and Support Groups, Anita Chauhan explores the experiences of surviving twins.
“Survivors’ guilt is a big one and so many of us experience this. I still feel that guilt, even after years of therapy because I often wonder why her and not me…the guilt makes me feel like I must make my life more meaningful, I feel like I must live life for her too,” she writes.
In my experience of losing my twin as a 4-month-old, the age of 14 presented a particularly difficult time. The formal operational stage of logical thinking begins at this age. A typical 14-year-old reaches an age of analytical reasoning and creative thought processes.
At that age, a litany of questions began to overtake my life: Why did she die? Why did I survive? How can I keep living? Where is her spirit? What is SIDS? Why is there SIDS? What actually happens to a baby’s heart during SIDS? Does SIDS happen all over the world? How can we stop it? What would she have been like? Would she have been taller than I was? Would she have preferred chocolate over my favourite, butterscotch? What is a twinless twin?
Much questioning, researching, writing, talking, and more questioning took place. There were no answers, but what did develop was a 14-year-old’s desire to understand SIDS, accept life as a twinless twin and find resilience to live fully.
There are many twinless twins all over the world. Many twins have died as infants, while other twins have passed away at various ages.
Dr. Raymond W. Brandt is an identical twinless twin who started an organization called Twinless Twins Support Group International (TTSGI).
His intent was to create a support group where twinless twins could express their feelings, find affirmation and offer support and encourage healing by helping other twins through the grieving process and through life itself. TTSGI offers a number of supports for grieving twins, including Facebook connections, books, local conferences and annual conferences.

Jacobson says she's all too familiar w/what can happen when #parents don't get safe sleep info.…She's heard it in conversations at First Candle's bereavement support services.
"I can't tell you how many times…we have parents in the group saying, 'Nobody told me' or 'I didn't know. I didn't know I couldn't have a blanket in the crib. I didn't know about anything.'"
She worries…it's going to be…much harder to get info out to help parents keep their #babies safe.
Christina Stile is the former deputy director for the #NICHD communications office that has been cut. She says the office used to distribute millions of #SafeToSleep publications each year.
"It's possible that someone at #NIH could take this over," she says. But with many of the communications offices at NIH's various institutes reportedly affected by widespread job cuts, "I don't know who would do it."
…Alison Jacobson is w/First Candle, a nonprofit that participated in #SafeToSleep since it began. She says the group will continue its efforts to #educate #parents on safe sleep recommendations, but it doesn't have anywhere near the funding needed to replace the resources that #NIH provided.
"State agencies, departments of #health, #hospitals would reach out…& ask for all of these free resources to be sent to them, which they were able to do. We don't have the ability to do that."
All of this material was produced & distributed by the office of communications at the #EuniceKennedyShriver National Institute of #Child #Health & Human Development. #Shriver was the aunt of current *Health* Secy #RFKJr. …That entire department was terminated on April 1. Dr. Moon's contact at the office emailed her to share the news.
"They sent an email saying 'just wanted to let you know that since the office has been terminated, so has #SafeToSleep.' And that was it.”
Unintentional suffocation is the leading cause of injury #death among #infants who are less than 12 months old.
#SafeToSleep created the #PublicHealth messaging for this information & distributed it on social media, as well as in pamphlets targeted to specific groups, such as #grandparents, & translated it into different languages. It also provided the materials to #hospitals & #doctor's offices to be handed out to #patients.
But now, #Trump has shut down the office responsible for leading that campaign, now known as #SafeToSleep.
Safe sleep recs for #babies include laying them on their back instead of their stomach on a firm mattress in their own space, like a crib or bassinet. Avoid sleeping w/an #infant on a couch or armchair or in a swing or car seat unless in a vehicle. Keep loose blankets, pillows, crib bumpers & other soft items out of their sleep area to avoid the risk of suffocation or strangulation.
The federal govt launched the campaign as "Back to Sleep" in 1994 in partnership w/private orgs. Since then, it has helped save thousands of #babies from dying in their #sleep, says Dr. Rachel Moon, a #pediatrician & researcher at UVA who helped write the American Academy of #Pediatrics' guidelines on safe #infant sleep.
"At the very beginning of Back to Sleep, the number of #deaths decreased by 50%, which is huge," Moon says.

#Trump #RFKJr #NIH cuts #SafeToSleep that campaigned to reduce #baby sleep #deaths
“I still remember how, as a new parent, I would often tiptoe into my sleeping son's room multiple times a day — & night — to make sure he was still breathing.
“Thanks to Safe to Sleep, a #PublicAwareness campaign launched three decades ago, I knew that #sleep-related #infant deaths were a leading cause of deaths for babies in the #US.”

Babyjoy High Chairs create a suffocation hazard as they allow an infant to sleep at an incline angle greater than 10 degrees. Also an entrapment risk because the space between the seat and tray is too large. #babyjoy #highchairs #sids #suffocation #entrapment #recall
