In this episode, my friend "Stephanie" shares her story of healing from Complex PTSD. Her childhood was horrific which included child trafficking. She survived only to become what she feared after a serious accident left her with charges of child abuse. But God had another song for her, a redemptive story and hope for healing. She is a wife, mother, artist, trafficking survivor, overcomer, and soon-to-be art therapist.

In this episode, Jennifer talks with "C" about her daughter's experience with the deeply grieved family members of the victim. She endured harassment but chose to forgive and seek to understand the grief from their perspective without judgment. Her daughter "Lynn" was a young driver and senior in high school at the time of the accident. "Lynn" allowed us to share her piano recital piece written and dedicated to the victim and her own grief. Please continue to pray for all who suffer in these tragedies and may we all grow closer to the Lord as he heals our broken hearts. Amen.
