...it might help you, so I think she wouldn't mind.
Lobco was tortured for a few months. For the longest time after that, she was barely functioning. I could barely get her to eat, she didn't talk, she wouldn't leave the house... I worried she'd be like that the rest of her life.
She's doing better now. Not a hundred percent, because that kind of experience leaves a mark. But she can smile and mean it, and she has dreams again, and she's forgiven herself for what happened.
It's not the same, but people can recover from nearly anything with time and support.
