I am a RN, i worked in nursing 27 years before retiring disabled. I now care for the spiritual and emotional needs of women on Death Row. My only sibling, a sister was murdered in 1985 by her husband who then turned the gun on himself in front of their 4 year old child. This affected me and my family dramatically and i watched my whole family die that night, including me. I would go on to abuse alcohol and substances to try to numb the pain. I drifted into my own domestic violent relationship and had my own child. It would take 30 years of pain, bitterness, and raging anger because of what happened before the Lord would pick me up and shake me to life, literally as i lie waiting to die on my sofa, full of self loathing and pity. I would turn nearly overnight from a mess suffering physical ailments and PTSD to joining the crusade against the death penalty and starting a small group that believed the women on Death row were worth saving and forming personal relationships to those on the row that wished to worship the Lord and receive friendship and encouragement while waiting for their state to murder them. Please join me at Forgotten & Failed: a look at women on death row (and other issues) on facebook. Thank you for reading this and bless you!
