After several months of grieving, McGhee began to realize that she needed to find a way to let go of her pain. She started by writing about her experiences in a journal. Writing helped her to process her emotions and to make sense of her loss. It also helped her to connect with others who had experienced similar losses.

Counting Scars is a powerful and inspiring story of hope and healing. McGhee's journey is a reminder that even the most painful experiences can be overcome. With time, patience, and support, it is possible to let go of the past and to move on to a brighter future.
