Please let me share something, ok?

For one thing, anyone who's had any kind of trauma in their lives or any sort of unresolved, even repressed, issue is more prone to have a much harder time working through another traumatic event.

Your co-workers may actually have 'survivor guilt' even!

All I know is that some people were really rocked to their core by 9/11 and with the 2nd 'anniversary' (or any subsequent one, for that matter) coming up, they will be thrown back into whatever 1st caused them to feel this so intensely.

Don't feel bad that you think it is weird, just please don't judge anyone. It is NOT that you are in no place to do so, it is just that no one is in a place to judge others in a situation such as this one.

Perhaps they would like to talk about it; sometimes trauma causes people to want to go over and go over these events. Perhaps not. However, you know how each of us reacts to a death? This is sort of the same thing. Just try to realize each one of us is coming from a different perspective and, as the Beatles sang, 'let it be', okay?

With love,
