This newsletter may be distributed for non-profit and educational purposes, provided it remains fully intact, and is distributed free of charge. No other distribution without the authors consent. This is a very special issue. There are no educational articles or bulletins included. In their place are the voices of survivors.
Survivors are anywhere.
They are friends, volunteers, work associates, relatives, acquaintances, club or congregation members, or the neighbour next door. We don't turn purple or speak a foreign language so you may not recognize us. Some of us have reached a point in our journey where we have risked identifying ourselves to you. Others choose to keep that part of their life safely out of the public view. We are everyday people just like you, and for us the holidays can be full of hidden meaning and stress.
