What a terrible story.

Also, what a excellent way to demonstrate the problems that arise in communication.

There's always a language barrier even if all parties speak the same language. And yet we try to explain anyway.

I recently heard someone say that there is no opposite for the word 'trauma' in the English language, which shows that we have done an okay job describing human emotion.

You could argue that words like 'ecstasy' are the opposite but they don't denote a lasting effect like 'trauma' does. The real opposite concept is 'healing', I guess.
