It's a new season for Blended, Blessed & Always A Mess! We are giving volume to voices on hard topics in Season 4. During this episode, we chat with guest, Jill Wood. Together we dive into the profound impact of grief and loss, particularly focusing on the experience of losing a loved one to suicide. Jill lost her husband, Chris, 18 months ago. Our conversation explores her personal journey, the challenges of navigating grief, the stigma surrounding suicide, and the importance of open conversations about mental health. The conversation emphasizes the need for understanding and compassion in the face of loss, as well as the compound impact of suicide on families. We highlight the importance of finding purpose in pain and the ongoing journey of healing through THE AFTERMATH.

New Year, New Season, Same Pain
Thanks for listening. You Matter!
Love, Angie & Aric
