Well said. My grandmother died at 95 in 1995. Around 1910, when she was orphaned (both parents died of tuberculosis) and had to take care of her two younger sisters, she was shuttled from relative to relative. When I tried, several times, to talk to her about her early life, she would just cry and say not a word. No one in the family knew what she and her sisters went through (they were already dead at the time I tried to get this info). She lived through the depression and that wasn't even a blip on her emotional radar. She'd talk about that all day long. Her youngest sister was mentally ill later in life, and I now wonder if it wasn't due to some horrible abuse the three of them suffered as children.
