As a mom, EMT, and daughter, I was plagued with traumatic events, anxiety, PTSD, and survivor's guilt.

I am navigating my way back to a sense of normalcy. Coming back from the dark places that first responders have to go in their mind to keep going. Grief is forever a part of life. Never give up; never quit. Keeping perspective and a good attitude will lead to growing and moving forward. Embrace all of your struggles that got you to this point to be the stronger person you are today. Be the change and the person you want to see. These true events are about keeping going, fighting the fight you are given, and never giving up.

Just keep swimming M.S.
