The Terrible Tuesday

This is a story of just that, something terrible that happened one Tuesday and one woman’s determination to find a way back. There were times when the struggle seemed too much but a strong faith and a refusal to give up on the belief in the inherent goodness of humanity and the universe helped this woman to come out fighting.

Fighting, not only the justice system but for all those who couldn’t in the past. Sometimes bad things happen to good people, maybe there isn’t always a reason for that. There is a reason why this woman is telling you her story. Always be brave, never give up, if she can get through it, so can you.

Life can be funny sometimes. Sometimes you find yourself in familiar surroundings but something’s off. Not quite right. I’m sure that’s happened to you. You know, when you wake up and you’ve been dreaming but everything seemed so real that you’re not quite sure.

When something bad happens some people stay in that dreamlike state, and why not? It’s easier there. You don’t have to face your fears or relive those horrifying moments. Inevitably though, there comes a time when even those people begin to recognise themselves in the mirror again.

The survival instinct that we possess is more powerful than we could ever imagine. It’s not something we think about. Why would we? No-one does, not until such a time arrives and we have no choice in the matter.

When that time arrives, as it did for this woman, the road may seem dark and recovery next to impossible when your insides are churning and all peace of mind is gone.

This is a story about feeling lost, swivel chairs, and finding laughter again with the help of some incredibly good people that are out there to help us along the way.

If you’ve ever felt like no one understood because no one has experienced what you’ve been through, this woman does. She understands exactly what it feels like and she’s here to tell you that there is hope. Her story will help you. You can be you again. Everything is possible.
