In 2009 Bonita Davis and her boyfriend (and best friend) were in a fatal accident. He did not survive. Even though she did, her broken heart would lead her down a road full of depression, a toxic relationship, and losing herself. Through God's grace, a loving support system, and self-discovery, Bonita is now a healed woman. She is no longer broken and in this episode she shares with us the lessons she learned during those tough years.
Healing from Grief: After the death of her boyfriend, Bonita, expectantly, had difficulty handling the grief and sadness that she felt. She initially began counseling, but eventually stopped because she felt that she was getting worse after each session of crying and expressing herself. She later realized that continuing those sessions could have changed the course of her near future. Often times people quit counseling far too soon because it’s uncomfortable. This is normal. The purpose of counseling is to help you GET better, not just FEEL better. Bonita was on a search for feeling better…and that’s when she met Lance.
Toxic Relationships: If you read She is Unbroken you’ll quickly learn that her relationship with Lance is anything but healing and healthy. Bonita tells of their arguments, fights, cheating, and downright disrespect. She was in this toxic relationship for years, trying to fill a hole that was left after the lost of her best friend. Bonita eventually realized that she was losing herself and knew that a major change was needed in order to heal.
Embracing Singleness: After finally releasing herself from Lance, Bonita began her journey to relearning who she was. In the midst of traveling, taking herself on dates, and enjoying life and began to embrace this new single life, and she encourages other women to do the same.
Bonita is unbroken. Her bravery to tell her painful story to the world is one of many reasons why she is an inspiring woman. Her ability to encourage others and live her truth is encouraging women near and far to do their work towards healing.
