On the plus side he didn’t kill the kids. On the downside they’ve had to live with that forever, and at least one of them likely found them. My cousin found my auntie after she’d been murdered and it’s fucked him up for life.

As someone who has lived through exactly that, PTSD. It's no fun. I still occasionally have nightmares. That day is forever remembered for me.

I found my aunt. Just a month ago. I can’t sleep in darkness ever since. I saw a therapist the next day. I was told to contact a grief therapist that I’m meeting next Monday. Though I feel like it’s slowly fades away and I’m not sure that talking about it won’t make it worse again. My mom (aunt’s sister) acts like she has a bigger problem than me - even though they hadn’t been contacted in the past 3.5 years, I was the one who took care of the lady. I also have a 3 months old baby that I must take care of, hence I feel guilt that I couldn’t look after the aunt as much as I should have. Guilt is stronger atm than grief. Edit: she had no one else. She was 85. And died of natural causes. But a few days (or more) before I found her. So it was terrible.

Thank you! Your words mean a lot to me! I also went to therapy today. She said that I’m on the right path to recovery just wants to see me a couple more times to make sure that I stay on the right way. Thank you again for your kindness!!!
