Almost six years ago, as Donna Carverâs mother was dying, Carver felt lost.
Her family talked to a counselor, but that did not help, Carver said. She told her mother she would work hard to make sure no one else felt that way again. It started her on a journey to becoming a counselor herself, but she had her own hurdles to face first.
After her mother died, Carver fell into a deep depression. It felt impossible to shake, she said.
âIt was like you fell into an abyss, and youâre in this deep dark hole and you canât climb out,â Carver said.
