Is the label "survivor" overused and thus devalued?

The word "survivor" is now used as a suffix to any traumatic experience (or percieved traumatic experience). The most recent one, which prompted this, was "gun violence survivors." Some were shot and "survived" the experience, others had family members killed. Should this be labeled "survivor?" It seems to build on the victim profile we continue to build for people. Honestly, unless you have been the target of a homicide, and the intention to kill is present...isn't that the only time you're really a survivor? Someone tried to kill you, but you made it. Everything else is surely tragic, but saying you survived something that doesn't involve attempted killing of some sort seems...alarmist, and just wrong.
