[ Back to Analytical themes ]- Collective Trauma

This has been a bereavement for individuals and communities. You have got to look at a minimum of 2 years to work through it.In the initial group meetings, respondents often became upset either when articulating suffering or hearing about the suffering of others. Because of movement restrictions for many it was the first time they had met with others outside of ‘survival mode’. At the interviews, many were dealing with emotions which they had become used to controlling. Some respondents became distressed and broke down during interview. However they rarely looked for comfort or sympathy and would continue telling their story.
