"It" happened, now what? I do not say this with any form of sarcasm. We have aired 26 episodes of the show to date, and I realized that some people hear these stories but are disconnected from the purpose and power of what they are hearing, due to unprocessed pain. The question that I aim to address in this episode is this, "Is it possible to process something you didn't ask to be a part of?" We are crowning May as the month to FIGHT!!!!! Fight for what? We are featuring stories of people fighting for their physical lives, their mind, their soul, and more. If you are done with being defeated by trauma, tune in and be inspired. I, Octoryia will be kicking us off with some thought-provoking questions, statements, and little more of my story.

Suicide... The unspoken pain that leads to this final decision and all the relational wreckage it creates, is imaginable. Yet, this occurs sadly every single day all around this globe. Why, is this ever an option? Who would actually go through with this selfish and senseless thought? Is it possible to heal after an explainable loss like this? These amongst many are real questions families face when suicide snatches the life of loved ones. How about when it also cost other people their lives. Typing this is as painful as you might feel right now from that unthinkable thought. I could list a thousand statistics and news headlines, but I have something more powerful. We have a brave woman who is courageous enough to share her journey from agony to victory.
