Traumas Impair Cranial Nerves

Her words fail so often, just like I do and someone else does. But her loss of words is especially apparent which is too annoying because she is the very person who lives on words. Her vocabulary appears stalled. Her nouns are at impasse, adjectives tiptoeing and verbs staggering.
My diagnosis and prescription: Traumas she had experienced in her youth are to blame. She had had her parents killed violently and without warning. Deep sorrows of loss seem to have damaged cranial nerves of her brain. Figuratively speaking, the warehouse of her vocabulary has crumbled, needing to be rebuilt and realigned.
