I guess that segues into my next question. I think anyone who has suffered personal trauma knows, and others can recognize, that the recovery is not a straight line to good health. It's a long road and it's very uneven. At times you cope and at times you don't cope. Perhaps even in moments like this, when you're called to testify before a group and share your personal story, it's hard to keep one's emotions in check, as determined as you are.
I am interested in comments from both of you personally in terms of your own recovery but also in terms of the groups you represent, about the need on an ongoing basis, and the length of time one needs to give victims the support that they need.
Either one can start.
