What Happened After Sharing Her Story
Describe any personal benefits sharing your story has brought you:
Mostly for me it has been the exposure. It was also healing, I had been thinking about writing about my experience and when I did, I put it off my chest.
What was the greatest challenge you had sharing your story?
Lack of professionalism, am not a writer per say but I received help with the editing and use of the English language so it wasn't that hard as I had imagined.
Were you helped in any way by the process the DIL team used to help you develop your story?
First of all, Karletta was welcoming. The DIL team edited and made the story an easy read by wording it better and making the story shorter.
Did sharing help you understand yourself more deeply? What were your greatest lessons?
Well, the greatest lesson is not to give up just yet on our dreams, I didn't believe I would be strong enough to be putting the story of healing out there, so eventually, I have learnt to trust the process and be patient with life and the people you interact with in life generally.
Did you enjoy the response you received from others in relation to your story? How So?
I did, I received well wishes for managing to fight through and come out stronger and am grateful, the responses were positive.
Did sharing your story have an impact on others in any way?
I would like to believe so, when I read a story that relates so much with my experience, I feel like am not alone, we are many of us and we need to support each other. I believe my story resonated with a few of my readers and they felt uplifted.
Would you recommend others share their story?
Yes, I would. These stories uplift the readers, dont sit on your life's journey, go ahead and put it out there. Its life changing.
Anything else?
I enjoyed it. The process was simple. My story remained within my control.
Many people who share their story experience a similar shift.
