My Tears Were for Her
by
Janet M Little
“If they knew I had been sexually abused, if they knew my secret, they would think differently of me. I’ll go through life wearing this mask that I believe is one that is acceptable. People will never know it’s not the real me. Yet my life is not real. I don’t know real love, for others or for myself. There has to be more to life on earth. I must tell, I must be real about who I am, with those I love and especially myself. If I don’t, it will surely be the death of me. The stress, the inner turmoil, the need to be someone I’m not is too difficult to live with any longer. I must come clean. I must get real in order to have a real life”.
And so, I did.
This is my story.
For any survivor of childhood sexual abuse who has kept “the secret” into adulthood, this book is for you as you embark on your healing journey. This is the journal of Janet’s journey to take back her power and through her words encourages other survivors to do the same. Guilt and shame are the effects that are felt by survivors into adulthood and leaves us with feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. My Tears Were for Her reveals how forgiveness, therapy and journaling can free you from your past.

As a leader, an advocate, a writer and a speaker she will encourage you to live in the joy, peace and freedom that is intended for each of us. Her husband and best friend Gord, she will tell you, is her greatest gift.
