It wasn’t just who she became from the trauma, it was who she created from so much darkness, it was the astounding beauty that came from ashes. It was through the grave that she became the woman she always dreamed of.
I’m a mom just like you.
Little did I realize when I got married that my life would spiral wildly out of control a few years later. What was supposed to be my happily ever after instead became a living nightmare.
I had relocated to the beautiful area of Boise, Idaho. I had just graduated college and was excited to start my new adventure. I met him a few months after I relocated. He was charming, kind, and consistent…he seemed to be my perfect match.
I’m here to share my story, so you can find the hope in yours.
As a survivor of domestic violence, I found that when I was at my darkest, I wanted to talk to someone who had been there. I wanted to know how to get out, stay out and rebuild.
My story is here for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
There are so many questions when it comes to matters of safety, abuse, rebuilding, and getting out…to name a few.
When do I know if it’s abuse?
Abuse is categorized in many ways: verbal, physical, financial, sexual, psychological. However we define it as any behavior that goes against how a man or women are supposed to treat one another. We believe that there is truly to be no fear in love.
Tell me more about the intent of Through the Grave?
I founded this platform to be a collaborative effort to help other women have the knowledge and systems to be able to go from the darkest part of their story to finding “happy” again.
What if I can’t financially leave?
This is a very common reason to stay and one that we address heavily. I commonly say that you leave strategically or tragically. If you have decided you must leave, then you need to make a plan. Let’s us show you how.
What is the process for leaving abuse?
As a survivor of abuse, I view it in three stages: Getting out, Staying out and Rebuilding your life. Through the Grave was created to not only help women decide if it’s time to leave but to help them claim back a healthy home.
What is Through the Grave’s Mission?
It is our mission to reach millions of women (and men) and stand beside them through this season of their lives. It is possible to go from Trauma to Triumph. Keep going!

Do you have a story to share?
Often times no one else’s story will look exactly like yours this is why it is so vital for those looking to change their current story to be able to hear the success in others.
This way they can find the pieces that most relate to their current situation and build a successful plan that is unique to their circumstance.
If you have a story of abuse recovery that could help someone else, get out, stay out or rebuild their lives please share. We can keep you anonymous if you prefer.
