When someone feels a loss...
or is traumatized by the sight of the person who has passed on?
Is this one of the stages of grieving? If so, which one?
How long does that time frame usually take to go away (from one extreme to the other) if a person in mourning was really close to the one who passed away?
Is there medicine to take to get rid of the memory of seeing the body when it was finally discovered that won't interfere with daily functioning?
Does this traumatic memory go away on its own? If so, when?
Also if I bounce around with the stages of grieving, what is that all about? Could that be coming from multiple losses?

i think its a flat out broken heart and it does start to heal but it never goes away
my grandfather passed away 6 years ago he was basically my father he was only 58.
and i still grieve and feel those broken heart feelings just not as often. i dont think it really goes in stages it just gets to a point were its not always on your mind if that makes any sense

If what happened is recent then you are grieving. If you are making an effort in remembering then it's just going to last longer. The faster you push yourself to look into the present or future the faster it will pass. This I know to be true. Good luck to you.

It takes time....if this all happened recently it can really take a toll on one's life. There is no drug that you can take to rid yourself of a memory. However there are anti-depressents that you can get from your doctor to help you cope better with life. Depression can be dibilatating. You should see your doctor....he can get you started on Prozac, Zoloft, or Effexor....then after a reasonable amount of time....say a year or so you are still having issues you should see a counselor to help talk you through the issues.

It's really hard to say, because everyone handles there pain in their own way.
When I lost my mom, the pain didn't hit me right away because I was young. But after I broke up with my boyfriend, the heart wrenching pain started a week later.
Time heals...there is no specific amount of time, but eventually, the pain eases...slowly.

Oh my God, I hope you're ok...
I'm no expert but try not to vizualise it. Try a change of scenery. Perhaps travel or work in a foreign country? Anything which will take your mind on another plane.

Don't be afraid and try not to be sad. Death is just a passage to another state...

Sounds like a panic attack and/or a broken heart. Things will slow down, they will. :)
Keep your head up.
