I have moved about 20 times in my 37 years of life.
One of them was to another country because I had the misfortune of falling in love with a man not from my own country.
It took years to finish the paper work. Lived there without any status for about two years, with health problems and no help...
By the end of it I developed severe mobility problems because of my ill health. Life long. I used to be able bodied. Not any more.
I absolutely suffered something as traumatic as a natural disaster, or war.
I never really thought of it like that but I can tell you first hand it is true!
