My Message for Survivors of Suicide

Jessica | March 10, 2016

I was recently asked to share my grief journey on the survivors of suicide site, The Gift of Second.  I wanted to share my video with our readers in an effort to offer insight and perspective on suicide, mental illness and grief.  I have learned a lot about myself in the four years after losing my dad to suicide.  While his death caused tremendous pain, it also led to a different outlook on life.  Not only has his death made me a stronger, more confident woman but it has changed me as a therapist.  In the video below I share my message for survivors including my take on forgiveness, mental illness and grief.
