After losing her father, her husband, AND her hip, it would have been understandable for Kim to give in and give up.

When that betrayal comes from family, friends, or coworkers, it’s especially shocking. Still, we can be so hard on ourselves that we’ll blame ourselves for not seeing it coming. Our first instincts? To shut down completely, build internal walls so high and thick that no one can ever get near us, and to never trust anyone again.
