Grief is cumulative and cumulatively negative. Childhood abuse can have a lifelong negative impact on your life. From Crisis to Compassion is a beautiful example of how hope and recovery from grief and abuse are possible.
I have never heard a story of someone healing or getting over something by living in silence and isolation with past abuse. I am grateful for this example of transparency, honesty, and bravery in telling a story out loud. This book can serve as a guide for anyone who wants to come out spiritually and relationally stronger after sexual abuse or abortion. Thank you Sally, for writing the truth!
The term “broken heart” is so commonly used in our society that it often sounds romantic; and in actuality it’s anything but! Broken hearts demand our full attention, whether the cause is relationships, debilitating depression, or dreams dying and crumbling in our hands, we are all in need of healing from the heart traumas of simply being human.
Sally is passionate not only for her own healing but making it accessible for others as well. Within the narrative on these pages you’ll find your story… follow the path and you’ll find your healing.
