The deadness of memory is not a function of the event itself but f the owner's processing that event.

We all have a threshold beyond which we will black out memory from access. But blacking it out occurs after it is recorded, and if the attitude toward the memory changes it can be brought back to the surface because the individual is up to viewing it. You could say he moved his threshold.

As the old song says, "Death is a distant friend" when life gets too burdensome. But going out fully facing the music --and perhaps even enjoying the changes in tempo--is a lot more attractive an option than going out screaming "Stop the music!!!" :D
