Forever isn't always forever. When going through a major change in your life the level of stress and anxiety can make decision making difficult. When your world falls apart everything seems forever, the things you love seem to be taken away from you. The idea of trying to deal with everything on top of the origional crisis can make hobbies etc seem pointless. As things start to settle down and life begins to look sunny rather than dreary then the old love of keeping a reef can be seen for what it is again.
Don't discount or dismiss an emotional trauma, don't assume they must not have had the passion. Feeding my son comes first, a marine tank comes further on down the line.
