A few weeks ago, Thea contacted me asking to share her story: she had just lost her father to suicide and wanted to help families navigate this painful experience. Careful not to re-traumatize her, we agreed that it would be best if her mother participated because I wanted to add an extra layer of safety and protection for her.

In this interview, mother and daughter talk about their different journeys and how they have been able to face this unfathomable pain as a family. This conversation is an invaluable testament to love: love for each other, for Brian’s memory, and for his life. If your family is going through suicide loss, I’m sure that Jeanne and Thea will help you find answers on how to move forward.
