The old feelings of numbness came back.  I could not connect with my emotions.  It was graduation day; my girls were graduating from college and my husband’s absence was evident.  When you have experienced a trauma, and are confronted with a major event in your life, it may trigger a reoccurrence of old feelings.   Tying yourself to the Lord when you experience the first recognition of these feelings will keep you from going off the edge.
