Lauren Bradley Survivor Sister Story

 

This isn’t my story, but it is my grandmothers. She was a victim of domestic abuse and unfortunately was killed by her abuser (theoretically). Let me explain. She was abused by her husband. She got a divorce with him and from what I was told she let him come over to grab the last of his things. The next morning our family was told that she was deceased. She had overdosed on his medication. There were signs of trauma, but no one could really say what had happened. It has been many years now. But I did want to say, if you find yourself in that situation please reach out. If she had she might still be with us. I know it’s hard.
