Losing a Son to Suicide and Choosing Hope After Grief (Anne Moss)

Published: Sept. 22, 2020, 7 a.m.

This week we are revisiting an old episode from last year because I find this interview to be so powerful that I wanted to bring it back to all of you. I had the special honor of connecting with Anne Moss, a mother, author, and founder of \xa0Emotionally Naked, a blog dedicated to her late son Charles Aubrey Rogers, who lost his life to suicide.

In this vulnerable interview, Anne recounts the last few years of her son\u2019s life and shares openly with us about his mental health and drug addiction struggles that ultimately lead to his death by suicide. Anne graciously talks about the vivid facts that many of us shy away from, including the stigma that families face when in crisis to mental health, and the lack of support when dealing with drug addiction.\xa0

Anne\u2019s book Diary of a Broken Mind, comes out in October of this year, and we will have her on again to share more tips and resources to those who have a loved one who is struggling or a loved one they have lost. But first, we wanted to shares Charles\u2019s story and let you know that whether you are struggling yourself or if you have a loved one who is, you are not alone. We will break the stigma, one story at a time, and as always, together is better.

If you or someone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts please connect with someone. You are not alone.
