Michele,  I have read about you and saw your photo a few times.  I want to thank you for giving me hope.   My husband was killed a little  over 2 years ago.   I have so many of the same feelings as you.  I wanted to die, I felt like I was going to die, and the pain in my heart was unexplainable.  

Something changed inside of me.  I feel stronger now because of my husband love he left with myself and our two little girls.  I feel God’s hands in our lives everyday.  The hurt in the heart will always be there.    I feel like I am on earth for a reason.  I know I am everything to my kids and feel proud to be here for them.   

 Your story and words have comforted me in a way that I feel almost normal.   I felt for a long time that I was the only one that felt like I do.  I want to reach out to people like me and help them. 

Thanks for encouraging me.
