In my appointment today, she said something that I was feeling but hadn't yet identified or acknowledged, as part of survivorship care (after cancer).

She said there is often a thought like "how did I survive that plane crash and others didn't".

And yes, I do have some of those feelings. I've been ignoring them, focusing on surviving and working on thriving.

Yes! I am experiencing survivorship guilt.

Shit!

I'm hoping that acknowledging it, and accepting it, will help me move beyond it.
