The BRAVEST WOMAN

Trigger Warning - This film contains reference to sexual assault, which may be triggering for some viewers. If you have been affected by a similar issue and you need someone to talk to, please reach out to an organisation or individual near you for help. Take care.
We care way too much about what other people think of us. We think that people are scrutinising how we look, what we do, what we say. It can become suffocating. It’s time to decide whether you want to take ownership of your life or give others the power to rule your life?
The bravest people are the one’s living their truth, despite fear. Being yourself takes courage. It requires looking at yourself as you are in this moment and accepting and honouring who you see. And immense growth is possible, if you face it and work through it.
“The act of going within, finding our truth, and then sharing it - it helps us far more than we know.” - Kamal Ravikant

I could hardly breathe watching this; it sucked all the air out of the room. It also made me weep. I was so moved by Anmiray’s courage, sad about the burden that she had carried for so long, but also joyful that she has moved to a place of forgiveness and healing. I don’t know what else to say except I wish this beautiful woman a happy and blessed life for the rest of her days.

[@deborahducharmporter6131]

Compassionately written, Jeffery. She is creating her remainder of her life. She is healing her heart.😃 All of us had been abused, somehow, some way, unless we are fortunate enough to not have to bear that. We all have choices to heal from our transgressors. Hurt people, hurt people. Our fathers are supposed to take care of us, not hurt us. But if they are damaged they need forgiveness. Those of us from the light have that responsibility. She knows this, she is one who brought light to the darkness. Much love!

I too was verbally abused. And my father recently snuck a few more choice comments into our conversation. The difference is now I see it for what it is. Him masking the truth. It still hurts . That he rationalizes physical abuse by him and my brother. I have an opportunity to speak at a court appearance, and I think I will. For me. For my healing. And then maybe in the end forgiveness will come.

@forrestwheeler916, I resonate as I had a similar upbringing. I have learned there are no satisfactory answers because there is nothing you could have done to prevent the abuse.

You're strong, courageous and resilient. And, you're safe now (I hope). Cheers.

Earlier this year, while having a conversation with my family, it happened. I broke the supreme law of our family... tell NO ONE what goes on in our family. Out of nowhere, I started sobbing and shaking. Uncontrollably. After 50 years of hiding, the truth of my father's abuse came pouring out of me like hot lava. I tried to stop it but I couldn't. It literally felt like a huge mass in my throat and I couldn't swallow it or breathe around it. So, I let it out. There were stares and a deafening silence. Finally, my mother said "Well, you turned out alright." The family picked the conversation back up like nothing had happened and I went home -exhausted and humiliated. ~I can assure you all that I am far from alright~ Both mother and father are gone from this world now, father two years ago and mother just in May of this year, and the rest of the family has abandoned me. My brothers deny what I said. One even said "You always gotta make everything about you." (Thinking about it now, maybe just commenting on this video about her story IS trying to make it about me. I don't know) I'm not at a place of forgiveness or healing. I'm trying to be. I know that everything I remember and feel about my past shapes and tarnishes my future. I hope I can stop remembering anything new. It just adds to my pain. I hope I can grow like this beautiful woman has and start my life anew. I don't want to die having only lived a life of fear, shame, regret and loneliness. But you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks. I love her and her bravery. Thanks to her for sharing her story, beautiful poetry and spirit with us all. Thanks to the creators of this beautiful channel. I feel as if the subjects of the films are friends just having an honest conversation with us over tea. And thank you for letting me speak to the truth of MY life. Love to you all

[@ritahemmerly4224]

Reading these comments it came to me that healing has no time limit . We all have the story of our childhood and it has become a "me too" movement for all of us to speak. Your brother was right it was about you thats who it happened to! They cant make it go away by saying it never happened to them, because it did happen to you. Saying you turned out ok, how the hell would they know they are still abusing you and denying you. If you need to yell it from the roof tops you go. Because the healing really is all about you. They showed nobody is coming to save you!

Dear Anmiray, yes you did touch my and many souls. I am happy that you were able to forgive and found a place for healing, that today you can empower many people that went through this and still are locked into shame and guilt. You are blessed and blessing many… Thank you for sharing! Your voice is being heard. I wish many people that went through this can make a huge and loud voice against people that is trying to make society believe the pedophilia is normal when we know that a life of a innocent child is destroyed for many years. May your voice and a multitude of voices create a powerful chorus! God continues to bless you and through you. I heard you… Thank you again 🧡✨🙏🏼✨🧡

Her story was very moving. What an achievement for the soul to be able to forgive and move on. I'm guessing the young children she is with at the end of the video are hers . They are so lucky to have her. The tears wash our souls and make us loving spirits for others. Thank you GR for the lovely reminder. From the darkness there is the light in its full glory for us to see. Xx

As a patreon for this channel, I received this video in my inbox days ago. I was at work and decided to take a break to check my personal emails. I felt like an excited child Christmas day when I saw your email Justine & Michael. I was too emotional to write a review after viewing the video. This woman is a source of strength, courage, intelligence, beauty, wisdom and the list goes on. Watching this now again on this Saturday morning, it brings upon the same deep feelings. I want to give her the biggest hug she has ever received and at the same time thank her for sharing her story with us. I am going to look for her poetry online. Justine & Michael, you are angels bringing us incredible light and helping us to become better people. And, I wanted to mention that the choice of music for every video is total perfection. Thank you for what you are doing. I am grateful. 💗🙏💗

To a beautiful soul, your message came to me at a time when I am still deeply struggling, on a daily basis (and I’m in my late 50s) about my early childhood trauma. I can relate to your pain and every tears. I have watched your message 3 times and most probably will listen to it over again. You gave me strength and courage. I am also working on my healing ❤️‍🩹 I have strong faith, I know that forgiveness is the key to this mental torture. There are so many of us and your testimony made me feel less alone.
