Episode 7: All That Anger

This week’s episode shares Michele’s remarkable journey. After losing her husband during a burglary, her grief hardened into anger toward the man responsible. This anger overshadowed her ability to reflect on her husband’s own challenges, including his temper and tendency to escalate conflict. 

Over time, Michele came to a painful yet liberating realization: her husband’s actions had likely contributed to the tragic events of that night. As she processed this truth, her anger began to soften. When Michele finally met Steven, the man who killed her husband, she confronted not only him but also her own pain.
