Am I normal?
Is it normal that I feel okay? Or is my brain playing tricks on me? 14 days ago, I found my younger brother, 28 years old, dead in his bed. The rescue services and I tried to resuscitate him, but that was unsuccessful. Sometimes there is a trigger that makes me sad, but otherwise I feel pretty okay. I also sleep reasonably well. I also don't feel like I'm blocking this out, because I can remember everything in reasonable detail. I also mainly feel like I am looking at the whole situation from my experiences as a nurse, even though this concerns my little brother. I also feel no guilt, even though the resuscitation was not perfect. And despite everyone impressing upon me that I shouldn't feel guilty. Or is my mind playing tricks on me, and am I going to pay the price later?
