Aloha Lark,

Witnessing a death can result in memories reliving the event for a long time afterwards. I've attended several hundred deaths and I can probably remember them all. I CAN say it sounds like your step-father was blessed to have what appears to be a peaceful passing AND loving people at his side. If only we all had that amount of support at the end.

In my experience, it really does help to speak with others who have experienced this type of event. I keep talking about it until the energy associated with it lightens... Take care
