What was the biggest impediment to Wendy Wood's healing after the attack?
The single biggest impediment to Wendy Wood's healing was not knowing who perpetrated the brutal attack on her and her husband of nearly 50 years.

This lack of closure made it impossible for her to process her grief and trauma properly, highlighting how crucial identification of perpetrators is for victims' healing journeys.
