If my house burns down, it has a tremendous effect on me and my circle. If someone else's house burns down, it may not. We both need support in our individual cases, but life goes on. This is what therapy is for in my opinion, to not let others unaffiliated have a negative impact upon us. These folks experienced something traumatic, but I don't know how much impact that needs to have on the greater island economy. I have never been there and do not know the culture.
