Thank you for listening, and please be aware that our children both died unexpectedly of suicide. The warning signs we thought we were supposed to see didn’t exist, except maybe in hindsight. 

Teen suicide is tragic, and a hard loss to heal from. We hope this conversation helps you to think about what your teens are up to, and how you can get more deeply connected to their world.
