Moral injury is present when there has been:

  • (a) a betrayal of “what’s right”
  • (b) either by a person in legitimate authority or by one’s self—“I did it”
  • (c) in a high stakes situation. (Shay, 2104 Psychoanalytic Psychology)

What Others Are Saying About Kay Lyn's Message of Grace:

"Kay Lyn Carlson is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met. Her boldness in telling her story, standing on the frontline and helping women all over the world is phenomenal. She is informative and efficient. I have learned so much from her. Working with Kay Lyn was amazing. I am certainly looking forward to doing whatever I can to help with her mission."
— Dr. Gina R. Prince
“Kay Lyn's testimony truly moved me to tears not just because of how traumatic it is to have lost her child but because of the love she developed for her child and the forgiveness she has achieved, through God, for herself and those who were involved. The day she shared her testimony, she didn't preach at me about repentance, but about the grace, forgiveness, and healing you will receive from Christ Jesus. I have lost parts of myself in the decisions I made, however Jesus met me where I was at and brought me back together.”
— S.G.
"Kay Lyn brings grace and truth and educates in a gentle way. I think many women will identify with her story."
— Kelsi Evans

Ecclesiastes 4: 9
