>Can enduring an extreme enough personal tragedy alter your psychic structure
Yes and no. They say you never step into the same river twice, but the Amazon is also still the same river it was yesterday.

>...and permanently sever you from love/goodness?
Permanence is a word and a concept. Does permanence exist when your memory is finite? What about when your perception is finite?

A lie some people tell themselves subconsciously is that there is only one infinity.
