Roaming with Restless Women

The Son I Knew Too Late - Suicide and Wisdom


Listen Later

In this powerful episode of "Roaming with Restless Women," I interview Sally Raymond—a marriage and family therapist, author, and passionate advocate for youth. Sally’s journey is deeply personal: after losing her son John to suicide in 1991, she dedicated her life to understanding what went wrong and to preventing similar tragedies for other families. Her story is not just one of loss, but of hope, resilience, and a relentless drive to help young people discover their worth and potential.

Her book, "The Son I Knew Too Late" gives expert advice such as: Acknowledge the pain. Don’t shy away from difficult conversations about mental health and suicide. Understand the warning signs. Withdrawal, hopelessness, and drastic changes in behavior are red flags. Be present and listen. Sometimes, the most powerful intervention is simply showing up and caring.
