"You don't have PTSD. All that happened was your mom died. That doesn't cause PTSD."
And you don't have enough knowledge to tell me if I do or don't have PTSD.
Let me remind you of a little something before my mom died...
I didn't barely get to see her because she has EXTREME isolating habits. I was wondering if all that time I was doing something wrong to cause her severe depression or prevent treatment from working. I came home and found her laying in a pool of her own blood. I became more depressed than before and also got suicidal because I blamed myself for it. My dad became depressed because his wife killed herself. And it was a constant battle for me to not take my own life for several months until I finally got a diagnosis and started treatment.
But go ahead. Tell yourself I don't have PTSD. Remind yourself that "death is something everyone experiences". But go on, keep telling yourself that what I saw was something normal for a child to see.
