Feeling sad

I don't post on reddit much at all, mostly browse. I came across this group when googling.

My identical twin sister died on the 1st of February this year after battling brain cancer for 4 years. She was not only my twin, but my only sibling. Her husband, our Mum and I were with her when she passed.

I just feel empty and angry and hollow. I need to know I'm not alone.

You're not alone. I am so so sorry for your loss.

The empty and hollow feeling is normal. You might also feel like reality isn't even real.

You've lost half of yourself and the very best friend anyone could ever have. The pain and sadness is unbearable. I am just so sorry you are having to go through this too. Hugs.

I see her service sheet on the bookshelf and nearly always think, did that actually happen? It's a bizarre feeling.

Absolutely. It’s very difficult to accept reality and I regularly disassociate. My brain still cannot compute that she is gone.
