In this episode of the Love Story podcast, host Ashley Green welcomes Rachel Sogge to share the compelling and emotional love story of her late husband, Kelly. The narrative traces their initial meeting after Rachel left an abusive relationship, through their rapid engagement and newfound family life with five children. While their burgeoning love was marked by day-to-day challenges, they strived to integrate their lives in unconventional settings, including a tiny home. Over time, Kelly’s struggles with mental health and addiction surfaced, leading to multiple attempts at rehabilitation. Despite the support, love, and understanding from his family, Kelly’s internal battles culminated in his tragic suicide. Rachel reflects on their profound connection, the pain of her loss, and her ongoing efforts to promote mental health awareness and support for survivors of suicide loss. The episode sheds light on the delicate balance of love, mental health, and the indelible impact of such a heart-wrenching experience.
