“As a psychologist and therapist I have witnessed many traumas that people have endured. The worst experience for me personally was the day I looked into my son’s face and knew that he was dead. Now, years later, I go through my days as a bereaved father who remembers seeing my son for the first time…and seeing him for the last time. Although I am grateful for the years in between, absolutely nothing will restore me, until I see him again…if ever I can.”
