This episode was not intended to be an episode of the Miracles of Tragedy. A friend of mine, Victoria, and I have been on each others' shows. She originally asked me to create a short video about my daughter's book, "Love Lingers Still." I told her I was not sure if I could due to the content of the book being in memory of my granddaughter who killed herself on June 10, 2022. So instead of just me talking she came on with me and we made a video together. In this special episode, Victoria was able to get me to open up about my granddaughter's death. But she brought up some positive things that are happening.#suicide #depression #mentalhealth #anxiety #sad #suicideprevention #love #mentalhealthawareness #depressed #mentalillness #suicidal #sadness #ptsd #death #broken #mentalhealthmatters #lonely #help #bipolar #alone #pain #life #selfharm #healing #recovery #quotes #memes #suicideawarness #depressionhelp #sadedits Please remember the service men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country.
