While the effects are felt physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, their soul pain, is for many, of the greatest intensity, for the soul nagging questions will not be silenced until answers are found that fit into a view of reality that has been drastically altered as a result of the lived experiences. ©Jane A.
