Dear Dawn:
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother, nephew, and friend on flight 175.? That is a lot of loss to go through at once.? I also had a brother that died, and know what a horrific loss a sibling death is, not to mention the death of your nephew and friend as well.? As my Mom mentioned, I work with Firefighters that lost a family member in the World Trade Center.? Many have found counseling to be very helpful, especially those that have suffered multiple losses.? I don’t know about your particular situation, but I do know that after a death it is often difficult to concentrate because of intrusive thoughts about the traumatic event.? I know many have found support groups and counseling to be helpful.? As far as websites that are specific to 9/ll families, I am not aware of any.? However, a lot has been written about 9/11 deaths on the internet and I know several individuals that found journaling on Legacy.com to be helpful.? All the best to you.? Take Care
~Dr. Heidi
