Shattered but Not Broken (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961677487)

The founder of Parents Against Gangs, and the Family Trauma Advocacy Counseling Center, Betty Major-Rose shares her story of the many grief experiences she lived through including the tragic and sudden death of her first husband and murder of her seventeen year-old daughter. She walks us through each death she endured and reveals the complexities that comes with grief. Her story sheds light on the struggle with grieving in pain while holding hope, and battling with depression and anxiety, while trying to maintain faith in God. Being shattered by loss time and time again, her vulnerableness in the darkest hours built a strength and resilience that never left her broken. The mending from each loss brought about a continuous transformation that ultimately led to her having the grace to support others who are grieving the sudden and traumatic loss of their loved ones.
