In this episode, Joey’s dad Virgil Svendsen reflects with Joey and Pricilla the dark days of taking care of Joey; and all the fears, anger and grief that came along with that season. Pricilla shares about the night she was actually afraid of Joey and had to call Virgil and Barbara (Joey’s mom) to spend the night with her. These are all tough things to reflect on and grapple with, but it’s the reality and truth we walked through. Immense beauty is often birthed from immense pain. Our story is no exception. Series Description: This time a year ago, our world was turned upside down by Joey’s mental health crash. We want to tell our story of suffering as well as the beauty amidst the suffering. From Joey’s week-stay at the hospital to our kids learning first-hand about mental illnesss, to natural worries of how long this all would last, we had a family that surrounded us, hope that filled my heart, a new closeness and a new beginning – Pricilla
