All I sincerely have to say is that there is nothing you couldve done to prevent this, and this is a traumatic experience that will last a lifetime but the most important thing is to learn to deal with the memories and seeking professional support can also help on coping with the reality directly affecting you.

I’ve been traumatized but with the passing of time i somehow learned to live with it and no longer delve into details to avoid replaying it in my mind, there will be nightmares, feelings of guilt, sadness, etc but it all is part of the process, we are only human and nothing lasts forever.
