Demolition Dismay
*Jane* sat in her living room in Texana, North Carolina, her eyes fixed on the news report about the demolition of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School building. Her hands trembled as she clutched the remote, memories of her own tragic loss resurfacing like a tidal wave. The news hit her hard, taking her back to the day her son, *Michael*, was killed in a drunk driving accident. At the time, she had turned to alcohol to numb the unbearable pain, spiraling into a dark abyss of addiction and self-destruction. As the report detailed the plans to tear down the building where 17 lives were lost, *Jane* felt a strange mix of emotions. Part of her understood the need to erase the physical reminder of such a horrific event, while another part wondered if demolishing the building was truly the answer. It was then that *Jane* stumbled upon the Stepping Into Action program on the Hofman Hollis website. Desperate for change, she decided to give it a try. Through the program's guidance, she began to confront her past and work on healing her emotional wounds. 'I never thought I'd find the strength to move forward,' *Jane* confided to her friend, *Emily*. 'But this program has given me the tools to face my demons and find purpose again.' Experts in trauma and recovery praised the program's approach, citing the importance of confronting painful memories in a supportive environment. However, some mental health professionals expressed concerns about the potential risks of re-traumatization without proper supervision. Despite the conflicting opinions, *Jane* remained committed to her healing journey. She knew that the path ahead would be challenging, but with the support of the Stepping Into Action program and her newfound determination, she felt hopeful for the first time in years. As she looked back on her journey, *Jane* realized that while the demolition of the school building might erase a physical reminder, true healing comes from within. And with the help she received, she was finally able to start rebuilding her life, one step at a time.
