Is it normal to be sad years later?

[Jilly]

My aunt died five years ago. I really loved her and I felt so bad when she died, and when she died, people were so supportive and it was okay to be so sad.

Now it's five years later and I still feel so sad when I think of her. I can't watch old home movies of her without crying.

People tell me I need to get over it because it has been so long I should not be sad anymore, but I still feel sad. I do not feel sad all the time about her, but it still makes me really sad sometimes. I really miss her, and if someone brings it up and I talk about it a lot or start looking at old videos and pics, I get so sad, I sometimes cry.

My dad and brother and sister get really sad too, but they don't usually cry over it, or if they do, I don't see it.

Am I normal? is there something wrong with me? Should I apologize to people for still getting sad over it?

There's no reason to apologise to people about it, nor is it anything "not normal."
Some deaths are just harder on some individuals. There's nothing wrong with still being upset, but it's better if you try to move on or at least not let it affect you so hard at every mention because it's not healthy for you to be down all the time.
