Interesting in that Susan Anderson's work with abandoned spouses discovered an almost universal early, post-bomb symptom: a compelling, almost uncontrollable need to tell the entire story in a "blow-by-blow account of the traumatic event. Screening out the less relevant details is beyond the teller's control."
That was surprising and comforting for me to read - validating, almost - in that I found myself often - always - doing that for months. "By going over all the pivotal points of loss, you remind yourself why you feel so out of control, that something traumatic really did happen."
