We quickly forget that not even 120 years ago it was common for kids to be helping their parents butcher chickens and have at least one of their siblings die of a horrible disease.
Humans are more robust to shock than our cozy modern world might have us think.
It is, like you said,the non-stop barrage of horror that crushes people.
I distinctly remember being a bit shocked when I was ~6-8 and my great-grandfather smacked the fish I'd just caught on the gunwales of our boat. sudden, violent, but I pretty quickly realized "well yeah, I guess you do have to kill the fish at some point".
Though I did get messed up by a Discovery channel documentary about spontaneous human combustion when I was a kid. Mostly because I didn't get to finish it.
