Mending Broken Hearts Mending Broken Hearts - Lesson #3 Advice Survivor Response

Response from a Survivor

Everyone likes to think that when faced with a situation like Brenda’s
they would do the right thing, just like Ruth did.  I was deeply hurt by the
lack of compassion from friends who described themselves as my “family.”
They rejected me in my hour of greatest need.  I was saddened when my
Christian friends offered only prayer when what I really needed was a
grocery card for food that week, a babysitter while I went to court, an
invitation to spend time with their family, or hug when I was desolate.
It was a lonely and desperate time.
