It should also be taken into account that in Kyouko's case, "coping" is a relative term. Her own terrible experience apparently changed her character and outlook drastically - it's been hinted enough that before the familycide incident she was actually an idealist hero figure like Sayaka. Not to mention that for a priest's daughter becoming a kind of social darwinist in her professional MO seems like a long road to go, unless something kicked her all the way down. And we pretty much know what did. So while Kyouko managed to live on after those events, I really can't be sure she didn't go through the same BSoD series as Sayaka. No matter how durable, finding your whole family dead (without discussing the possibility of not just finding, but having been KILLED together with them and surviving only due to the soul gem left intact) is meant to hit HARD.
