Eventually, it became easier with the help of true friends, family and strong faith. “The power of tapping into a Higher Power,” says Sandy, “was the number-one resource that I held to and still do today.” Now, Sandy has come to view her past not as a tragedy, but as a gift of life lessons she can share with others.
