The aftermath of a mental health crisis
Brokenness is not recovered from in a night. Traumatic experiences can take years to come back from. We have been forever altered, reshaped and effected by what we experienced in the 9 months of Shaun’s darkness, in good and bad ways. Healing has come and continues to come, and we are beyond grateful for the way God redeems the mess! These are posts that have been shared sporadically as I was able to process through the recovery. The posts are in reverse chronological order.
