Vulnerable victims & families must often lead advocacy efforts for their loved ones Events like #CrimeCon should be safe spaces for the vulnerable, and it seems like they’re headed towards that end Unfortunately that can’t undo the retraumatization I suffered #engagewithempathy

In 2014 I learned I was pregnant. I never realized just how much I wanted a child until that very moment. Two months later I found myself in the ER suffering from extensive bleeding. I was diagnosed with a rare condition called a molar pregnancy (1/5)
