My mother loss began at the age of 3 when both of my parents were away in prison until I was 6. After that, my mom was physically present but emotionally absent, leaving me with a deep emptiness that fueled anger I couldn’t explain. This anger led me to lash out and fight throughout my childhood and into adulthood. In 2003, I had an emotional breakdown, triggered by the grief of losing my mother in 2001, grief I had never allowed myself to process. I discovered that my anger stemmed from the emotional absence of my mom, the unmet needs, and the abandonment and rejection from my dad. It was in this brokenness that God met me, guiding me to surrender my anger and experience His unconditional love, which marked the beginning of my journey of healing. I now know that healing is not a one-time event, but an ongoing journey that I will be a part of.
