GRIT - Stories of Resilience

Clark Wright - A Family's Survival - The Resilience and Triumph over Attempted Suicides - Twice


Listen Later

Clark Wright, the son of a well-known and respected medical doctor in Raleigh, has been, for many years, a highly successful business litigation lawyer in New Bern, North Carolina with an emphasis on environmental issues.
In his spare time, Clark is an avid outdoorsman, who finds peace and happiness in hiking, rock and mountain climbing all over the world. He has walked the entire Appalachian Trail.
By nature, Clark is an optimist, a can-do person, who loves and wants to fix things and people, whether they be in his law practice or personal life.
At the same time, Clark has had his own struggles with depression and lost his older sister to suicide. But nothing could have prepared him for the struggles of his two teenage daughters, who at separate times in their lives, tried to kill themselves, one by hanging and another by too many pills.
As Clark tells his family's story in this riveting podcast, you will hear how he, with the unconditional support of many friends and colleagues, excellent medical help, fortuitous luck, and faith helped to save both his daughters from their own intended destruction.
A close friend once told me, "If no one has died, everything can be fixed."
Clark and his family stared into the abyss. They are still on their personal journey. They are hopeful. And filled with gratitude for the second chances God and people have given them.
This is a story of resilience and triumph.
