This week’s Song of the Week was suggested by MIA reader Cristina Farace:
“I have suffered from severe clinical depression and bipolar disorder all of my life and have had multiple suicide attempts. I am also an adult survivor of sexual child abuse which seems to have driven my mental illness. As a psychiatric registered nurse, I have worked with the mentally ill for over 30 years and like to share my story to let others who suffer know that they are not alone and there is a road to recovery. I write poetry, have a website and blog and am writing a book on the subject. This song speaks to my heart and gives me hope that God is there for us even in the darkest of times when it seems there is no hope.”
