Hello Doctor, My identical twin brother died just over 2 years ago and i am having non-stop dreams about him and my previous life to the extent that it is causing me to wake up feeling tired, bad headaches, depressed and generally not my self. Will these dreams ever stop and why am i still having them after all this time. I was completely devastated by his death as it was so sudden, i could not bring myself to go and see him as he was in a coma and was scared to see him in that condition. I have a bad phobia about hospitals and doctors and have not seen a doctor for over 37 years because of this. I miss my brother terribly as he was like a part of me, i cannot ever see me getting over his death. He was married with children and so am i so we did have separate lives but we always had a bond between us. I thought we would both grow old together and i am finding it hard to accept that he has gone. If something happens i still go to phone him forgetting sometimes that he is no longer here. I have not had any form of counselling as i cannot open up to people, i was brought up to get on with life and take the knocks as they come. If you and anybody could explain what is going on and how long it will take for me to get back to being my old self again i would appreciate any help.
