17 of facing a situation that they could not accept as real. This is coupled with the opinion they had of Bernabé Baldeón-García as a person who was highly respected and appreciated by the community and known for the services he offered of “heeling with natural herbs.” The lack of acceptance is increased by the deep feeling of indignation and pain they had to endure because of the death of their father. The impact that violence had in the family has been increased by the lack of response by the State to the complaints they have made. All the suffering derived from such impunity increased their mourning and the sensation of vulnerability and despair. Furthermore, they suffered pecuniary damages and their lifestyle was impoverished. The impact caused to the family was very huge and it has changed their lives “radically.” Along these 15 years they have lived “tortured” by the images associated to the circumstances surrounding the murder of their father. Due to the said circumstances, all the family, except the elder sister, has left the community to move to Lima. They have not only lost their father, but they have also lost their place of reference, they were outcasts, whereas their sister remained in the community leading an extremely sad and desolate life. In addition, the lack of social support increased the suffering of the next of kin, for whom their father was the family referent and support. The family managed to file a complaint some days after the occurrence of the events. This placed them in a very dangerous position, they were menaced by the armed forces. These events and their consequences led the next of kin to “question the feeling of safety and protection by the State (sic),” in view of the lack of response to their complaints, within an environment of fear and insecurity, causing them to run away, heading towards Lima, for fear that something might happen to them as well. It can be observed that the family has emotional traits rather than severe psychological alterations, that is to say, the murder of their father has caused an emotional impact in all of them. All the family members have shown “a high level of pain and traumatic remembrances, with frequent bursts of tears.” For them this is a matter that they have not overcome yet. The women have been forced to develop “strategies to cover their grief,” and this has caused further damage to their personalities, since it takes up a great deal of “emotional energy.” Likewise, there are several other manifestations of strong “emotional inhibition” that can be considered as a manner to face suffering, such as silence and social isolation. This is caused by the “lack of social spaces where to seek support,” the sense of impunity, the feeling of frustration in the quest for justice, the loss of collective support and of “community referents.” They have lost all that when they moved in isolation to a city which they found “threatening”, and where they have been “constantly discriminated and disregarded.” Guadalupe, wife of the alleged victim, does not seem to have any interest in learning to speak Spanish; she lives in her own world of remembrances and is only interested in her relationship with her children and grandchildren. She strongly misses the life in her community. Furthermore, according to her children, she has got ill due to the events occurred. Currently, she is 83 years old and has an advanced osteoporosis condition, arthritis, and has “TB” recurrence. Living in Lima is very hard for her, coupled with the suffering for the fate of her late husband.
