From Traumatic Beginnings to Hopeful Endings – Mary’s Story of Loss, Grief, and Faith in God That Kept Her Moving Forward

When Mary found out her 35-year-old father unexpectedly died in a farm accident, she and her family were devastated. In an instant, their world seemed to fall apart as they tried to process the trauma, had to purchase a new home, and her mom started a full-time position. Through God’s strength, her family was able to keep moving forward, and Mary’s faith was what kept her grounded during seasons of anxiety, depression, and fear. In her testimony, she shares how God grew her through her trials and planted a desire in her heart to minister to others journeying through trauma.
