Call me crazy, but using fatal practices to compensate for the loss of a major sense is absolutely suffering. As for what would we do? gee I don't know, find a way to heal her maybe? For example, in FF9 when Garnet lost her voice due to the trauma she witnessed, her friends did everything in their power to try and help her recover. Were any of them miraculous healers? no. but they did what they could and ultimately it paid off, she regained her voice. What SE's done here in that situation is like everyone outright ignoring the loss of her voice, and carrying on like nothing happened, which would have made it far less likely that she would recover at all. This isn't character growth, there was no struggle or trying to address it before rising above, this was just 'oh, that happened..whatever'.
