No, that's normal. She's been stalking you and making sure that you live in fear of her more than a year. That sort of thing get ingrained into you. It's not something you can just shake off after her death. It lingers.

[ He squeezes Sinclair's hand for a moment. ]

But that's why I'll be here to help you through it, even if I can't be there physically. I'll be there for you whenever I can, in whatever way I can. Over time, your mind will realize that she's no longer here. And that you're free.
