Happiness over having survived, acceptence of current state in life, hope that life will get better, anger that life is not the same way it was before, guilt over having survived while others have not? Guilt over getting better when others haven't? frustration at yourself for being frustrated? she can have conflicting emotions. thhe fact of the matter is that is an extremely complicated situation, and people's emotions are complicated in and of themselves. no one person acts the same to the same event. but there are common reactions. conflicting emotions are one of the common reactions to trauma.
