For Lita, it was a long road to find peace. As a young girl, this Daughters client was raped by two men, and the trauma of that experience continued to haunt her well into adulthood.
Lita says she felt trapped by her feelings of anger and hurt — feelings that had kept her from moving on with her life. She would often lie awake at night and cry as memories of her rapists came back to her. More than anything, Lita longed to be free of those memories and the hatred that came with them.
Year after year, Lita struggled with these feelings that entrapped her. But recently, she decided to pray a prayer of forgiveness, letting go of the hatred she felt for these men. Immediately, she says she felt the burden of her memories dissipate only to be replaced by an uplifting spirit of freedom. Lita says she is no longer a slave to her feelings. She no longer lies awake at night in anger. She can sleep well, and she feels the most amazing peace has overtaken her.
Now, Lita is able to focus on her work in the Daughters sewing room, where she is part of the team that cuts patterns for all Daughters' products. She enjoys the challenge and pace of the work, and is grateful to be at peace now whether at work or home.
