The pain of losing her daughter Jessi destroyed her marriage. This is what Kim Garrison told us. Jessi died in 2000 of a rare and totally unexpected heart disease (Myocarditis). What helped Kim in her grief ? “Nothing for the the first ten years” she explained, “I tried it all, alcohol, travelling, anything to escape… I had no comfort from my faith, I hated and blamed God”.
Kim attempted suicide and was only saved by a fortuitous phone call from Jessi’s brother at which point she realised that other members of the family also grieved for her daughter and that they should not have to bear the pain such an action would inflict on them.
