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 her grieving process, and how losing a child to suicide can happen to anyone.
Suzanne shared with me (and I’m sharing this with her permission) that she had no idea how freeing it would be to tell her story on The Just A Mom podcast. She said since the time of recording, she has found herself more willing/able to share her story. I would encourage everyone to follow in Suzanne’s footsteps and share your story with a safe person.
What is The Just A Mom Podcast?
My name is Susie. I have three children, the youngest of whom struggles with depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation. I never thought this could happen to me, and I missed the signs. Being a parent is really hard, and I'm here to help! I'm talking to parents and experts to help you with the issues your kids may face. I want you to know that you are not alone and there is hope.
