I'm so sorry for your loss...so sorry.

Yes, I believe that a person can absolutely develop Post Traumatic Stress due to the events surrounding the death of a loved one. When my father passed, I mentioned to my t that I thought I had PTSD just over his death and the horrible events surrounding it. He agreed. I'd witnessed other deaths and really had no issue. It was the events surrounding my father's death that were traumatizing.

It was something that I had to talk through as soon as I could.

I hope you're able to.

Again, I'm so sorry for your loss.
