The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Brenda's Brutal Reality of Child Loss by Suicide; Delayed Grief & Finding Her New Self


Listen Later

In this conversation Brenda & I y=talk about the loss of her 22 year old son to suicide in 2012. And while Brenda, her family & loved ones were grieving it wouldn't be until Feb of 2017 when Chase would actually be found and their reality confirmed. This is a raw, real conversation that I think so much can be gained from. I hope you will gain as much as I did from it! 

CAUTION: Sensitive subject & details that if you are too early in loss might be more than you need or want right now.

Brenda welcomes anyone who would like to reach out via email to chat at  [email protected]
