From the start, Jesi Arter knew she was meant to be with the man who became her husband and father of her child. Their connection was immediate and intense. Their married life in a small Pennsylvania town was very happy. 

But five months after Jesi became a mother, she became a widow when her husband committed suicide. Since then, she has forged a new path as a single mom, head of household and advocate for women who lose their parters to suicide.
