Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor

A Conversation with Dr. Amy Ocasio, Thomas's mom


Listen Later

As a licensed professional clinical counselor, Amy was well acquainted with clinical depression, it's prevalence and impact on the lives of teenagers, and associated risk of suicide. But on July 28, 2019 it suddenly became very personal when she discovered her precious, beautiful son Thomas had taken his own life at the young age of only 16.
A single moment in time had turned her world upside down and would forever, mark hers and her family's lives. I invite you to listen as Amy shares her heartbreaking story and we have a candid discussion about clinical depression, suicide, and navigating the grief journey she suddenly found herself on. Learn how she found hope through her relationship with GOD and rediscovered meaning and purpose in the ashes by starting The Live for Thomas Foundation, of which she is co-founder and president.
