Helen Grady

So many times it has been stated, sticks and stones can break your bones, but words can never you. How wrong can that be? A lot of women know how it feels to be on the recieving end of hurtful demoralising words and even though we cringe at a raised fist, or feel its force, nothing can compare to years of verbal abuse. The feeling of self worth over the years waned to an all-time low. The only light at the end of the tunnel and for most women to much to contemplate. Helen found that courage, with the help of a friend, she reached out amongst the community of the small village that had been her home for the last twenty-six. years. The spiteful words of her mother-in-law cut deep to the bone and freedom come at a high price. With the help of her small boys Helen found the courage. For Helen the light at the end of the tunnel glowed more powerful with each passing day. When she belived the worst to be over and love was on the horizon fate dealt more blows. Helen knew this was just one more hurdle to climb, and with all the strength she possessed she would one day be free to love again
