We explored critical topics such as men's mental health, the societal need to change how boys are raised, and the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health and suicide. Rachel emphasized that seeking support is a sign of strength, not weakness. She also shared how she and her daughters leaned on a vital support system of friends and community after the heartbreaking loss of her husband, Seth Teller, to suicide.

Our discussion also touched on widowhood, the enduring presence of loved ones in our memories, and the resilience required to rebuild life after tragedy. In Betsy’s view, Us, After is a must-read—a story of hope, grit, and rediscovering joy and love. Rachel’s account highlights how she and her daughters found their way forward with the help of those around them.
