Assurance.

You've been through a lot; we all have. There hasn't been a war yet that causes no casualites and no trauma afterwards. Some wounds heal, others scar over and never go away. So much pain has been shared already in this crazy world...its a pity that it all has to happen to kind people who don't deserve it, but it does. We all must grin and bear it--in one way or another--and wait for the three years to pass. No one knows if things like this will ever happen in the future, but it will not happen to you as long as I have something to do with it. Those who were so cruel to you will pay for their crimes, have no doubt about that.
You're scared that this may not be real...no one can say what is real and what is just a dream for sure. Perhaps the solipsists are right and nothing is real but thoughts and images in the mind. But even if this is all in your head, your own thoughts have made it real. Memory and dreams only differ in the amount of weight they put on your mind. Real or not, we're here, and we're always going to be here for you. We're all in the same boat.
