For the former, the emotional resonance of 9/11 feelings of catastrophe with a traumatic visual/emotional dissociated memory from 18 months old enabled it to surface; while for the latter, the train massacre and disappearance of the two youngest siblings has had ripple effects not only inter-generationally but throughout the family.
