Psychological Effects of a Parent's Death...?

Question

My father was killed when I was 2...so I never really got to know him, nor did I truly even realize he was killed until I was like 4 or 5...yet I still find myself thinking about him a lot lately (I'm 18 now...) even to the point of crying, like lying in bed trying to go to sleep or watching TV...Is this normal? I mean, shouldn't I be passed this, it's been years?

So I was really wondering if there are any psychological effects of a parent's death at such a young age? An if maybe I'm displaying them but just never realized it...what else is there?

Answer 1

When a girl used to say i love you to her boyfriend and her grandfather dies is it normal for her to stop saying i love you to him.
