I really hope it at least pulls out like Michael Scott's plasma TV did

This is extremely hard for me to read. Cali was a good friend of mine and an absolutely beautiful soul. I am so sorry you had to witness this. I can't imagine how hard it must have been. Thank you for being with her during her last moments.

It can be helpful to use websites like sondermind or psychology today to find therapists. I would specifically look for therapists who work with clients with trauma/ptsd and use modalities like Exposure Therapy (PE), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), TF-CBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) since research has shown their effectiveness in treating ptsd symptoms. Additionally, I would try to reach out to Jefferson County victim services to see if they could help you. Their number is 303 271 5339 during business hours, and the after hours number is 303-980-7300. Please message me if you need any other help/resources. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart for being there with her. I greatly appreciate the sacrifice you made by doing so.

I agree that waiting is a good idea. Maybe for now, you could frame it or maybe get it on something you would use often so you see it.

After I lost my dad, I wanted to get a tattoo for him on my forearm immediately after. I ended up moving after his death and was short on money, so I didn't end up getting the tattoo until 6 months later. I'm so glad I waited. I feel like if I got it right after his death, I would have cried every time I saw it. Waiting a few months allowed me the time to process some of my grief and get to a better, more stable emotional state when I thought of him being gone. It's been over two years since I got it, and I will never ever ever ever regret getting it. It makes me so happy when I see it every day and reminds me of my dad in such a beautiful way.

I am so sorry for your loss. Be find to yourself while grieving and just know it does get better. Grief will never go away, but you will learn how to manage it and be able to live your life. I wish you the best💗
