You were soul murdered by your abusers. How is your spirit and soul holding up? How you recovered is a miracle only granted by God. I am shocked you weren\u2019t murdered by your abusers. Why are you not dead? You should be dead. You are one woman who cheated death through dissociation. Do you even realize your God gift to lose time? You would be dead if it weren\u2019t for your alters. I am proud of your ability to survive. A true fighter you are. Great book. Definitely a story worth writing about.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Dear Jacob, <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Yes, I have heard of soul murder, and yes, I have felt and experienced the same. There was a time when I felt as if I were living, but dead.\u00a0 I, too, believe it was a miracle that I survived all that I&#8217;ve gone through. My faith was tested time and again. I always wondered why I didn&#8217;t die. Some days I believe I would&#8217;ve been better off if I had. But truthfully, I believe there is a reason for everything. It wasn&#8217;t my time to die back then and it isn&#8217;t my time to die now. I have faith that I\u2019m not through with living here on earth until my purpose is fulfilled. I&#8217;ve been saved time and again. There must be a reason for that. And God willing, I will continue to get up each day until my time comes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>I&#8217;ve been lucky. I believe that Dr. Baer was God sent, and that my survival and sharing my story was meant to be. That&#8217;s why I continue to do the best I can, each day, to help those who need help.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Thank you for believing in me, for all your compliments, and for acknowledging my faith-filled journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Wishing you all my best!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span>Karen<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment by Jacob\u00a0on 30 Jan 2010 at 7:52 pm Karen, Have you ever heard of soul murder?
