Don't let the LOSS take over your MIND, use it to your ADVNTGE.
Rebecca Benny was 17 and in high school the day she had to gather her friends and tell them her mom had been killed. She was closer to her father than her mother at the time, and she has been left with the task of figuring out her complicated relationship with her mother now as a motherless daughter. Besides gathering her friends that day to tell them the news, it wasn't typical of Rebecca to speak about her mother, Luz V Minda.
Today she's 24 and has started a podcast in order to voice her own story and to be a voice for others experiencing homicide grief. Join Rebecca in her very first episodes and travel with her on her literal journey from the dark to the light. Rebecca began sharing her story from a couch in a dark room. 13 episodes later, she has started to show her face and has just released her first True Survivor Series sharing other homicide loss survivor's stories.
Rebecca's Advice: That guilt should be on the person that committed the crime. Not us, because we didn't do anything wrong. It is important to keep their name going.
Don't stop talking about them.
