Where do you turn when you lose your twin?

5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

On last week鈥檚 Your Call, we asked about women who inspired you. Nancy in Nottingham called to nominate Joan Woodward, founder of the Lone Twin Network. The 650-members strong Network is a voluntary support group for anyone who has lost a twin at any stage in their life. Joan, who is now 90, told 5 live she lost her own twin sister when they were three years old. She said: 鈥淚 was the smallest, and she was the strongest鈥� but she disappeared in a taxi to hospital and didn鈥檛 come back.鈥� Despite her early loss, Joan said she remembers her twin well. 鈥淲e did lots of things together,鈥� she added. This clip is originally from 5 live Breakfast on Friday 16 December 2016.
