Motown Johnny - I've done the same thing... Not about feeling guilty about my trauma. I don't. Be it first world or not, it was traumatizing for me and I'm having a hard time dealing, and the same goes for you. But yeah, I've been out and heard people or have read things on the internet - people moaning about stupid, simple stuff, and as you, I think how it'd be nice if that were my only problem. I'd mentioned this before to an internet friend who is a widow; and she told me that stuff like that may actually be big problems to others, like I wasn't being considerate of others' woes, but I mean, if a Louis Vuitton bag is a big problem, I'd switch lives any day... I don't even have a bag. It melted in the fire. I carry my wallet around, and the clasp is rusty from fire engine water and has smoky smell. Thank God my driver's license and cards were all safe in it, though. Small positive there. And I had a little change inside.
