In this episode we welcome Brenton Wright, father of Calvin Desir, the second of two Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students lost to suicide in the aftermath of the Valentine's Day 2018 shooting. Less than a week earlier the Coral Springs, Florida-Parkland, Florida community lost Sydney Aiello, a fellow survivor of the shooting.  While Life After PTSD generally focuses on the story after the story, where a new normal of someone's deciding is realized after clearing their trauma, we also labor to eliminate the stigma of seeking mental wellness and Brenton's passionate plea serves as a wake up call to us all that no one should ever have to feel or experience what he and his wife did in the loss of their son. As we seek to end that stigma, the solution is to love.
