When someone close that you
love dies naturally, – it is normal to mourn their loss, to miss their
presence in your life, and to eventually think fondly of their passing.
Death after all is an inevitable part of life. We learn to adjust.
When someone you love dies an unnatural death, it is impossible to make that adjustment. It is a double blow: Not only have they died, but the way they died was senseless, unnecessary, abrupt, traumatic. There is no time for goodbye. This was not fair. You enter into a period of “numbness”. You reconstruct the events. You subconsciously reenact the last thoughts, and feelings of the deceased. You feel robbed.
Then as if you
have not suffered enough, along comes a pathologist whose post mortem
says something completely different as to the cause of death of your
loved one. The pathologist says that your loved one’s death was
“unremarkable”, when you knew it was suspicious. The pathologist also
says that your loved one had coronary artery or “heart disease” when you
know there was nothing at all wrong with his heart.
