Most of us are very uncomfortable discussing suicide, it’s a difficult topic. Unfortunately, suicide happens and when it does, it leaves a trail of pain and devastation. As a grief counselor, I see all too well the destruction left behind. On today’s show, Karen Lawrence shares her story of losing her brother, Ken, to suicide. We’ll discuss what makes it so difficult to talk about, some of the myths we hold about suicide, and ways to get help for yourself or your loved one.
