{"product_id":"loss-of-multiples-memorial-chime-44-inch-purple","title":"Loss of Multiples Memorial Chime, 44 inch Purple","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdetails open=\"\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cu\u003eSee More\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndrea and Nichole each experienced the loss of one of their twins. From those parallel journeys emerged not only friendship, but purpose. Andrea transformed her grief into art, painting a series of purple butterflies in memory of her twins. Nichole channeled her experience into doctoral research and ultimately founded IVTSF to address gaps in awareness, documentation, and compassionate care for families affected by vanishing twin syndrome (VTS) and multifetal loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike candles, which eventually burn out, wind chimes endure. Their sound returns with the wind—gentle, recurring, and lasting. Each note serves as a quiet reminder that love continues and that every baby is remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis chime is inspired by two mothers choosing to build something meaningful from their loss. It stands as a tribute to babies who are forever part of their families and as a symbol of solidarity for others walking a similar path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.
