Poema S6 012 | Grief Matters 3: Ana’s Story

**Trigger Warning: Emotional, physical and spiritual abuse**

Today in the third part of our series Grief Matters, my friend Ana shares her powerful story.

In it we explore a not just the grief of losing someone you love, but another kind of grief - the grief and trauma of leaving evangelical church behind, the grief of deconstruction, and trauma of abusive relationships and leaving those behind to begin a new life. 

Ana's is a powerful testimony, but it's also a story of hope. It's a story of how when we have the courage leave a painful and difficult life behind, there is the chance for something new and powerful to begin. That when we grieve well, there is a chance of resurrection in our own lives.
