I’m just 2 years younger- it’s a weird survivor’s guilt for me. I lived it, but not as an adult. I tell myself that my patients deserve my understanding- beyond that of a tween victim. It’s a very weird intersection.

I hope they also give you the grace of patience and understanding that your life was indelibly changed. It's a strange shared trauma that everyone experienced in a highly personal way. (I was living out of state 2000-2007 and watched with horror from a distance.)
