Lost of a twin brother

Well I lost my twin brother in the year of "1999". He was my best friend. He was always there for me no matter what. He died of a brainstem stroke secondary to kidney failure at the age of 35, so young. I felt so bad because at his time of need I could not help him, it was out of my hands. I feel like I dropped the ball and there was nothing I could do. He will be missed forever in my life. We grew up together playing, going to school and just day to day living. My emotions are so mixed by how do I get past this and move on. It's been 10 years but it seems like yesterday.
