Question

Although the narrator's physical wounds from the tornado have long since healed, what does she imply has NOT been healed?

Answer 1

It is implied that the emotional, mental, and/or spiritual needs haven't been healed.

Answer 2

Answer: Healing is a very complex process.

Explanation: When someone suffers a damage of any kind and more specific, a wound that can lead to a psychological damage, a physical healing wouldn´t be enough. The moral burden that we carry after a traumatic of signifcative event can be even more dangerous than an open wound. Something that will break not only our body, but also our spirit.
