Brave personal story of family violence
Wow, Carmen Hall, how brave of you letting us into your life and story (Opinion, December 21).
How empowering it is for others to hear personal testimony.
When you interviewed me some time ago about pastoral care and suicide prevention in the kiwifruit industry, I could feel your empathy and understanding but did not know how deeply you understood.
Thank you so much for being open and letting us further into your life – I hope in some way it will be further healing for you.
