The Loss of Multiples Memorial Chime was created in collaboration with the International Vanishing Twin Syndrome Foundation (IVTSF) to honor siblings, mothers, and families who have experienced the loss of a child. It reflects shared experience, shared loss, and a shared commitment to honoring babies lost in multiple pregnancies. This custom remembrance wind chime was created through a deeply personal collaboration between two mothers—Andrea Greenwich Heffner, M.Ed., an artist, and Dr. Nichole McTurk Cubbage, a researcher—and the International Vanishing Twin Syndrome Foundation (IVTSF).

A portion of proceeds supports the ongoing work of the International Vanishing Twin Syndrome Foundation (IVTSF) to advance research, education, and awareness so that families experiencing multifetal loss are seen, acknowledged, and compassionately supported.

May its sound bring comfort, remembrance, and the reassurance that love always prevails.

Choose and Image …

• Purple Butterfly. The purple butterfly has become widely recognized within the multiple-loss community as a symbol of remembrance for babies lost from twin or multiple pregnancies. Butterflies represent transformation, continuing connection, and the enduring presence of babies who remain part of their families’ stories. Butterfly designs are available with one, two or three butterflies.
• Tiny Sprout. The tiny sprout reflects the earliest beginnings of life and the quiet moment when something new first starts to grow. It symbolizes life that begins together, even when the journey unfolds differently than expected.
• Sunset. The sunset symbolizes love that does not end when life is brief. Just as a sunset marks both an ending and a continuation beyond the horizon, it reflects the enduring presence of babies who remain part of their families’ stories and memories. The sunset often represents the lost twin, while the sunrise often represents the surviving twin.
