How do I deal with losing my best friend to cancer after I have survived it?? I have survivors guilt and don't know how to deal with it. |

did not cause this, you could not have prevented it.
Give yourself time to grieve and acknowledge your loss. Find a support group - there are many, some on-line.
Your friend would, no doubt, want you to enjoy your life and even do some things on his or her behalf. Donate a book to the library at your friend's elementary school in his name: write a check to a local charity she supported.
Don't waste time with guilt: it is pointless and unnecessary.
