"I know what it's like to sit in the pew with a broken heart," says Ruth Graham, daughter of famed evangelist Billy Graham.
She opens up about her struggles in a new interview with David Kyle Foster in the "Pure Passion Podcast."
"Because I was expected to have it all together, to hide behind a mask, I went with my Sunday face on," Graham says.
"And when someone said, 'How are you doing?' I said, 'I'm fine,' which was a lie.
"I was breaking inside because of my husband's infidelity to me after 18 years of marriage.
And I was devastated.
But I didn't want people to know.
So I sat there Sunday after Sunday with this broken heart.
And it led to depression, serious depression.
I had never known anybody depressed.
I didn't know what it looked like, what the symptoms were.
But it came to a point that one Sunday after church, I'd had enough. And I went home looking for razor blades."
