Today is an extra personal episode … we are officially kicking off Season 4. This season comes out as our family hits 6 years since my 21-year-old son Alex died by suicide. For this season premiere episode, I sat down in a Zoom-style quasi-round-table-talk with (some of ) my family to revisit & review not only where we are now but also what the journey of the past 6 years has looked like for us, collectively and individually.

Surviving suicide loss is anything but easy -but doing it together helps.

In this episode, I chat with: 

• G.R. - my husband
• Parker - my youngest child
• Aubrie - Parker's long-time girlfriend. (they are both 24 years old)
• Jennifer- my best friend of 20 years. 

We talked about:  

• The day Alex died - the feelings, the fog, the chaos 
• The weeks that followed - survival, hyper-vigilance & more
• The years leading up to now - how we survived, began to reengage in life, & now, how we are rebuilding from here...

 …and I think it was enlightening as well as healing on some level for all of us. I hope you take something helpful - maybe even hopeful- from it as well.  I know I sure did! 

Also,  please reach out if you want to share a guest or topic idea for Season 4 - and I am always open to feedback if you have it! [email protected]
