Author Kevin C. McCall joins Chelsea 7:45 minutes in to talk about his memoir For The Love of Family: How a Knock on the Door Changed Everything. The knock he is referring to is the unmistakable and ever dreaded sound of an officer whose come to announce tragedy. In 2009, Kevin lost his youngest son Ryan in an unthinkable act of homicide. Collected in For The Love of Family are his musings, charting his grief over the course of 6 years, giving us an intimate view into the life of a father and husband who feels the pressure to hold his family together while on the inside he is nothing short of falling apart. In this episode, he opens up about his slow crawl back to himself, how his marriage survived such anguish, the experience that showed him life does goes on and legacies are made (hint: Kevin became a grandfather), how therapy helped him and his wife face their heartbreak, release their anger, and hold hands again, and how he didn’t let depression keep him from ever missing a sunrise.__To connect with Kevin, visit his:Foundation: http://www.ryanpmccall.comPurchase For The Love of Family: How a Knock on the Door Changed Everythinghttps://www.amazon.com/Love-Family-Knock-Changed-Everything/dp/1640966897/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/for-the-love-of-family-kevin-c-mccall/1131274501__Work with Chelsea: www.breakupward.com/shopChelsea’s website: www.breakupward.comSign up for Chelsea’s newsletter: bit.ly/tyhbletterInstagram: www.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakConnect and send in your questions and/or letters viawww.instagram.com/thankyouheartbreakOr by email: Chelsea@breakupward.com
