Answer:

Explanation: It is impossible for the victim to forget what happened to them, and there is no reason that anyone should feel that they have to forget. These events are life changing and remembering what happened, in a private or a public way is a normal part of an individual’s recovery. However, it is important that if memories of the event are affecting you, such as nightmares and flashbacks, and they are impacting your life in a negative way, you should seek professional help. It is important to acknowledge what happened, to remember what was lost, but not to let it become your identity. Many people feel intense emotions such as anger, injustice and fear. We need to deal with these emotions, so that they don’t become destructive and make things more difficult. It is not as simple to say ‘let it go’, but perhaps find a way to redirect the negative energy, into something more positive – that way, the terrorists don’t win.
