A Traumatic Event Can Affect A Person's Life For Decades Afterwards

Some of us have unpleasant events in the past that continue to haunt us years or decades later. I had a sad and life-changing event happen to me on November 29, 1973. I recently passed the 50-year anniversary of this sad moment. I spent some time analyzing what happened. I looked at what each person did during and after that moment. I got some new revelations. I realized that my father had got the whole thing right 49 years ago. I found a fascinating story concerning a woman whose father died when an airliner crashed on landing at Boston Logan Airport. Her father was among 89 passengers who died that day 50 years ago. When COVID hit, the daughter of one of the passengers killed spent a lot of time tracking down the families of each passenger killed that day. It was quite a revelation, including how a traumatic event affects the rest of the person's life who was in some way involved with that event.
