THE MEANING OF AMBER’S HOPE
Amber struggles with everyday issues ranging from work stress, grief and loss, relational conflicts, depression, anxiety and trauma. Amber’s journey navigating through emotions and self-defeating thoughts were surreal.
How did I get to this point?
Who am I?
Who can I talk to?
How will they judge me?
Are all questions Amber pondered. Amber attempted to cope with these hardships, but loss a sense of self. Amber began soul searching for more meaning in life. One day Amber discovered that “Amber” itself was used as a way to heal. Amber realized that healing oneself means stepping outside of one’s comfort zone and trying something new.
Who Is Amber You Ask?
Well, Amber takes on two meanings: healing (which is an action) and you (a person), thus formulating healing within you. As you heal you come to develop hope for a better you, a better outcome and a better tomorrow. So what’s behind the name Amber’s Hope.
