This may be the most difficult episode of The Just A Mom podcast to date. My incredibly brave and strong friend Suzanne talks about losing her son, Nic, to suicide in 2017. She started noticing signs of anxiety and depression before people were really talking openly about mental health. Suzanne shares deeply intimate details about losing her son and her grieving process, and how losing a child to suicide can happen to anyone. Suzanne encourages parents and says there is hope even when you lose a child.
