Is it normal that after 3 years it happened i still cry. is it normal that i get such a reaction when i think of the memory. I got to witness seeing my drug addicted brother hit the lowest point in his life, witness everything. The worst was waking up to his cries and finding to seeing him on the floor curled up, crying. My goodness that was awfully and unbearably painful. painful to watch, painful to remember.

That event in itself was so traumatic that I get distressed and uneasy when i remember. My heart rate goes up. When im at work the thought suddenly comes to me randomly or something sparks the thought and my eyes get watery. Its been three years since it happened.

Is this normal? Are some wounds too painful to ever heal?

    Unfortunetly, it is normal. some wounds will never, ever heal. im truly sorry to hear this. i still cry when my dog rocky died. he was the first gift when i moved here to arizona, he was a puppy. throughout the years, he has been there, when he died, it was to relive those memories. its still painful

    so OP, this is normal. *hugs*
