CHERYL'S STORY

Cheryl Anise Bethea was a 43 year old mother of a 19 year old daughter and 21 year old son, a proud "Glam" mother of a 9 mo baby boy
(I endearingly nicknaming him, "Grump"), a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, and a friend. She had a big heart and an illuminating personality with a big beautiful smile who never met a stranger. On August 25, 2014, her life was snuffed away in such a senseless and cowardly act of Domestic Violence. As she stood outside, in front of her home, fighting for her life, she was stabbed multiple times by a man, she dated for nearly 3 years after filing a restraint order against him on that very same day. After the death of our beloved Cheryl, we realized Domestic Violence is a silent killer, mentally and physically that must be sounded. With her love ones unaware of the mental and physical abuse she endured day in and day out, her energetic, radiate personality was slowly being snuffed away from her, eventually, losing her life so quickly in an untimely death. Through her death, we realized silence is a major problem in DV and we missed a lot of signs as her family as well as friends. Because here death was so unexpected, her family was left picking up so many shattered and scattered pieces. The life she left behind was so unfinished and her children and grandchild were in immediate need of shelter and financial assistance. Our Mission:
Sound the Silence in Domestic Violence shares Cheryl's story to bring awareness about DV and the dangers of being silent. We are on a mission to prevent abuse and save lives. Please feel free to make comments and share her story or your story of survival as well in DV.
