Abnormal Suffering a death of a loved one is analogous to a physical injury.
Some people shrug off injuries, some go into shock.
One wound may take days to heal, a similar wound at another time may take the same person months to heal. Healing has no timetable. Indeed some feelings may never go away. Forty years after her 18 month-old child was kidnapped and murdered, Anne Morrow Lindberg still remembered the terror and nightmare of that spring in 1932. She vividly recalled the confusion, the police station that had been set up in her house, the detectives, the police and Secret Service agents.
