Anniversary grief?

I always feel fantastically depressed in June. It happens every year. I’ve realised that today is the anniversary of the death of my twin sister. She died when we were 7 months old. I’ve always tried not to make too much of this, although it’s obviously had a profound effect on how my life has turned out (grieving parents). I wondered if the depression could be linked to a kind of anniversary grief.

There was a thread on MN recently about twinless twins and I wonder if any of the posters on that thread could resonate with this experience?

It's a plausible explanation, OP. I'm so sorry. Sending you much love. Xxx

I’m sorry, that sounds really difficult. I hope you feel better as the summer gets on.

Thanks @MaidMiriam and @vincettenoir that’s kind. I already feel a bit lighter today. I just never realise what’s happening in time to drag myself out of it.
