Jag har alltid älskat livet. En gång var jag som vilket annat barn som helst: nyfiket och tillitsfullt. Men de som stod mig närmast svek. Min uppväxt kantades av övergrepp som fick mig att tro att jag var värdelös. Som vuxen levde jag med män som misshandlade mig svårt och jag drabbades av cancer tre gånger.

Mitt liv har varit en resa genom mörker och ljus. Jag har varit i det svartaste helvete men också mött människors bästa, vackraste sidor. Aldrig har jag givit upp. Nu vill jag dela med mig av min berättelse för att stärka andra. Det finns hopp. Det finns ljus. Ge aldrig upp!

Till mina läsare

Mitt hopp är att du som läser detta ska förstå att man kan klara av alla helveten i livet och gå vidare. Inget är lätt, det kan kräva år av bearbetning. Men om du nu går igenom mörker och svårigheter, eller lider av händelser du tidigare varit utsatt för, vill jag ge just dig hopp och en strimma ljus i mörkret. Ge aldrig någonsin upp!

Det jag har lärt mig under åren är att det största och viktigaste i livet är att kunna förlåta. Den dagen du kan förlåta det svåra du varit utsatt för kan din väg mot frihet och inre frid börja. Det går att nå försoning.

Störst av allt är kärleken.

I have always loved life.  Once I was like any other child: curious and trustful.  But those who were closest to me betrayed me.  I grew up surrounded by abuse that made me believe I was worthless.  As an adult, I lived with men who abused me badly and I suffered from cancer three times.

 My life has been a journey through darkness and light.  I have been in the darkest hell but also met the best, most beautiful sides of people.  I have never given up.  Now I want to share my story to empower others.  There is hope. There is light.

Never give up!
