The emotional process of women victims of terrorism

The mothers, partners, wives, daughters, sisters and women in general who have suffered a terrorist attack on someone close to them are obliged to follow a painful path forcing them to take on new roles and responsibilities within the family. They must also deal with a continuous process of personal reconstruction involving different stages and emotional states: disbelief, denial, the search for a reason, emptiness, loneliness, fear, rage, impotence....

Independently of the acronym or mould of the terrorist organisation committing the attack, the pain is common to all victims. The cry for justice, recompense, backing and support for those who suffer past and present from the injustice of terrorism is unanimous.
