How to deal with traumatic death of my dad

My dad was diagnosed in November 21 with stage 3 lung cancer, he sadly lost his fight after a traumatic death on May 9th, I can't get the images out of my head after having to perform CPR, it was like something out a horror movie, we think the clots on lung he developed burst or the tumor itself and now I struggle to sleep seeing these images

I know its only been almost 2 months but not sure if I should be speaking to someone I feel as if I can't grieve or let go due to what has happened, I was just wondering if anyone has experienced something similar

  • Hello I'm sorry for your loss,yes the same thing happened to me with my dad, my boyfriend had to perform CPR and it was very traumatic as well it will get easier for you,it did take some time for me all I think is that he wasn't alone I was with him,it is a shock for you but just think you were with him and he knew that try to take comfort from that,think it was a bit different for me because 6 months after losing my dad I found out I had cancer so my focus was to fight it.Just give it some time you will find your strength with it all,think back to the nice moments you had with him x
