Description
Trigger Warning: This episode discusses grief, military loss, depression, and suicidal thoughts. Please listen with care and step away if you need to protect your peace.
In Part 2 of Crystal’s story, she reads letters her late husband Jake wrote from boot camp, recounts the day she received the knock at the door every military wife fears, and opens up about the long journey of healing that followed.
Through pain, therapy, and years of self-work, Crystal found her way back to purpose — and to herself.
