Death of my father.

58% Normal
4 Comments

A little over a year ago my father committed suicide. I was there. I was in the room. I didn't know what happened till it was too late. He took 25 morphine pills and went to sleep. I watched him die and I stared at his dead body for hours... Later that week I had to dig my own fathers grave. The images of that few days have been haunting me and show no signs of stopping. Is any of this normal?

    I assume it's normal that that would happen. See a therapist is all I can say.
