70% of the people who survive genocide, their whole families slaughtered and worse, are back to being happy and functional within 6 months, and most of them are OK within 2 years.
1.5% will not let go of the pain, bad memories, and so on.
So it depends on if you really let go, start to look forward and make your own plans, take time to enjoy life and count your blessings, and so on.
The longer you hold onto the pain instead of just accepting things and learning from them, the longer it takes.
