Please consider evaluating the content of what I've said rather than taking it as a personal attack.
This is often how it goes -- some people respond positively to trauma at the beginning because the reality has not yet set in. When it does they may go negative, eliciting criticism for failing to maintain a positive attitude, which ends up making it worse.
I am simply asking people here to engage with the actual complexity of people's response to trauma. And to recognize that people experienceing trauma often respond in totally unexpected ways.
