“My friend Naomi has also found solace for her soul. She shared the following with me: "The healing balm of my Savior's Atonement has been the most constant source of peace and refuge throughout my journey.

Or worse, as history has shown countless times, the source of our painful downfall.”

I did everything to hide my pain and to never give the impression that I was anything but thriving and strong.”
