They will. I'll be the first to admit it'll take more time than the rest of the population. But...you move on. Otherwise you redifine your life around a tragedy an that doesn't really do anyone any good, especially yourself.

That they are...call it in, give the fragment the respect it deserves as a human remain and a lost soul, and move on.

Which is great - they're moving on.

This is a whole 'nuther can of worms I've already written about here. Let's just say that while one event led to another, I no longer believe they're related events.
Anyways, my comments were more aimed at news companies who constantly replay the 9/11 tragedy anytime some involved in the WTC gets a hangnail, or we get another terror alert.
We keep reopening this wound over and over again an never let it heal. And it's getting infected.
