My twin brother is close to the end of his life and I feel like I'm being torn in half

My twin brother is close to the end of his life. We are so very close, we always have been. His cancer treatment has failed. I feel like I’m being torn in half and I don’t know how to exist without him. The range of emotions is insane. More than anything, I’d like to speak to a twin who has experienced this. I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m just waiting for the inevitable, which will be very soon. I just hoped we’d have more time.
