A Widow's Awakening narrates Krista's journey from a fairy-tale love to a toxic, fatal marriage at a young age, and how the loss of her husband at 23 reshaped her life. Enduring physical and emotional abuse linked to addiction, she faced her own struggles with misuse while trying to reclaim her life. Her experiences with addiction and mental health challenges, both personally and within her family, imparted valuable lessons on healing, self-awareness, and self-love. Having suppressed her emotions throughout childhood, she learned to embrace vulnerability and openness. Lacking emotional guidance as a child left her grappling with her feelings during her adolescent years, leading her to seek fulfillment in unhealthy relationships. Over time, Krista discovered the importance of relying on her own strengths, navigating numerous obstacles to find her inner resilience. She wrote this book to connect with others facing similar hardships, offering insights and a spiritual perspective to inspire resilience and hope.
