Owning my story

I have been battling to get my life back and move forward from several traumatic events in my life. My husband passed away in 2020 from covid and 14 months later due to depression, PTSD, anxiety, improper care, improper medication combinations, and an abusive relationship I found myself trapped in I had a mental break. I returned to Las Vegas in late October two weeks after being released from the hospital with the things I could fit in my car, completely broken.

I was a shell, I was barely functioning and my weight had ballooned up to 315 pounds. To date I have lost 36.6 pounds, gotten off all my "mental" medication and have become focused on me. I made the next step in this journey by joining a gym yesterday and tonight I went and walked 2 miles on the treadmill.

My goal is to continue getting my health back, love myself and have the best life I can. Bruce would want me to be happy. Thank you to all my family and friends who have never waivered and have supported me, cried with me, cheered me on, and loved me even when I didn't love myself.

Every day since that horrible morning in August 2020,  I find myself wondering, “Why did he die, and yet I’m still here?
