This week on Truthfully, Tracy, we’re sitting with a story that is both heartbreaking and deeply human — a story about love, loss, and the legacy we carry forward.

My guest is Sara Russo, owner of Sara Russo Photography, a gifted photographer whose work captures life’s most honest moments — the raw, the joyful, and the in-between.

Sara’s father died by suicide after becoming sober from alcohol — a loss that has reshaped the way she sees her work, her relationships, and the conversations we have (and don’t have) about men’s mental health.

In this episode, we explore:
– What Sara’s dad meant to her, and the presence he held in her life before his passing
– How her grief has changed the way she photographs families and captures connection
– The moments behind the lens that have become part of her own healing
– Why suicide loss is so misunderstood, and what she wishes people knew
– How grief continues to teach her — about love, resilience, and seeing beauty in the impermanent
– The message she hopes to share with anyone who has lost a parent or loved one to suicide

This conversation is tender, honest, and full of grace — a reminder that healing isn’t about forgetting the people we’ve lost, but learning how to keep their light alive within us.
