2. I don't feel brave

I knew I had to stand up and come forward. The truly brave ones were the women who stood by me and came forward with what had happened to them. I had only worked there for 5 months when this happened. The other women had endured horrors for years.

I was proud of my work as a funeral director and honored to serve the families of my area when they needed someone the most.

I rarely leave my house anymore. Believe it or not, lots of big money was interested in keeping what happened quiet. I had uncovered embezzlement of prepaid funds and reported it to the state insurance board. They refused to issue a public notice to let people know that their prepaid funerals might be fakes. My fight is on mute for the time being.

They say you can only get stronger....hell better watch out if that happens... lol
