When you tell and share your story be BOLD, Be Honest, and give yourself compassion. Your Victim Impact Statement must reflect what happened to you and the result of the impact you live with daily. You can utilize photos and audio when presenting to the court. Do have someone present with you. You will NEED SUPPORT. MY Victim Impact STATEMENT will be made available via a link as well as the other evidence in my case below.
The time will come when you don’t want to feel angry or grief anymore. At that moment FREE yourself and take back your identity and letting go of all past emotional holds that no longer exist.
