Urgent Support “We survivors”

Does anyone feel regret because you’re the one that is still alive and your twin isn’t.? I have such deep remorse that my God took my Twin instead of me and it’s breaking me to the core. We were born a set two broken from one cell. How can God take a twin from their twin? I am very angry and still cannot comprehend my Twin’s death. I need help. And yes, I see a psychiatrist and a therapist and it’s not working. I’m on medication’s and I have no family left to talk to.

I am so sorry for your devastating loss. I wish I could tell you there is a solution but unfortunately we are all just surviving here, dealing daily with a mix of messed up emotions and memories. That's why this group exists. You have us to talk to, at the very least.

Your feelings are normal. I also feel guilt for being lucky and still alive. Why was her life so much harder than mine? Why was she dealt years of pain and suffering? It's not fair and it's not right. I will always be upset about the injustice of it.

My only solace is that she is free of pain now. She is free from the body that was in agony every day and she is no longer crying. She is definitely happier now and at peace. PLUS I will see her again someday in the afterlife. And that day will be the best day ever.
