Long term lifetime health has many factors. Recent research has even identified that a one time traumatic event can have long lasting affects (Dorn et al). The mental affect is rather obvious since trauma increases stress. Stress then results in a whole mired of other problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease. The lesson here is not to avoid traumatic events (although I do recommend trying), the lesson is to take time to reflect and reduce stress. Quickly accepting and overcoming problems with decrease long term affects.
