When Christine Tracey's husband and daughter sadly passed away, her mental health plummeted.
Following the deaths of her closest family members, Christine became too frightened to drive, too worried to open her own post and was even afraid to leave her own home. The 63-year-old battled depression as she struggled with her grief, but she finally gained valuable support from Arch Recovery College in Durham, and her life finally changed for the better.
Christine, who is a former social worker but is now retired, is now helping others get through dark times in their life and is volunteering with Arch, and now spends much of her time leading walks around the city.
