This shouldn't be happening, I should be ok, it's been 5 and 6 years since I had to do this for two family members. Including the person I loved most in the world. But for some reason it's the other person whose memory is distressing me more right now, because that death was more traumatic.
Usually I'm ok nowadays but I've just had a vivid memory of holding my dog as she was being put to sleep and it's brought everything else back too.
I just miss all of them and how my life used to be.
Everytime I think I'm getting better with my grief, something like this happens. How long does it take to not collapse emotionally every now and again? I'm 30 now. I can't lose more years. Have you been in this position? What helped?
Is grief counselling a good idea? I thought I was past that, but clearly not.

To ask if you've held somebody's hand as they're dying? Floods of tears
