Tiffany Skelton's story is a lot. Her husband suffered from long-term mental illnesses as they both parented their six children. Tiffany knows what it's like to become a widow from suicide, but that's not where her story ends. After becoming a widow, Tiffany experienced sexual assault as she was trying to date post-loss. Since then, she has learned a lot about herself, grief, and things to keep in mind while staying safe as a woman on the planet. She is on a mission to share her story in the hopes that it helps prevent things like this happening to someone else.
