My goodness, Pam is an incredible woman and so well spoken! Her voice was so soothing to listen to. I'm so incredibly sorry for every one of you that experienced loss. I think it's safe to say that as a parent, losing a child is the thing you fear the most, and there are no words great enough to convey my sorrow for you.
I do appreciate your calm voice Pam. My son had stage four cancer and I always ask myself how i would have survived if he hadn’t. God bless you and peace of Christ. ❤
What an amazing woman!❤ She has managed to explain her experience with grace, honesty, and a realness that is admirable. She will save lives and help families that have been devastated with loss.
When the police came to tell me my eldest daughter had died, 1 of my children had just left for school and I had another two right at my feet ready to go out the door… I kinda knew when they asked me if I was Lacey’s mum… “please don’t tell me now, let me get these two off to school, don’t tell me in front of them” the police passed my children to another mum walking passed my house… (who I knew) they sat me down and told me… then I heard my brand new, 6 day old grandaughter to my second daughter was crying so I knew she was coming down stairs any second.. so I ran up and headed her off to tell myself before she saw the police. Then we called my eldest son who was at work. The worst part for me was telling the other children.. one by one they all fell to pieces… along with me and our lives the way we knew it… we were going into lockdown at the same time… my life just doesn’t feel right anymore… I feel like I forgot something constantly or I’m missing something… I always just Feel awkward and I don’t fit in anymore.
Have you thought about interviewing some 1st responders? There are so many amazing 1st responders who have experienced these situations and their testimony would be powerful to hear.
Hearing how your church brings in the army of support is truly the only time I ever want to be Mormon but man oh man you can be proud of how they handle crises.
I love your broadcasts. As a parent who has lost a child I am finding comfort in seeing how other people are coping. If I could make a suggestion - in the midst of sober heartfelt stories the upbeat cheerful interjections or commercials are jarring. Perhaps the same things could be said in amore normal or even solemn way. They just feel disruptive, at least to me, they do.
We are sorry about your loss and will take into consideration of your thoughts. We try to just have it be a normal conversation between us so we don't really have a plan of how it goes.
The worst thing to do is get off medication that's working. Don't assume that you can wean yourself off and you're fine because the medication is what is making you fine
I so agree with you, they should of never let him get off the meds. You really have to pay attention to your child, you know better than them, he really needed to stay on the medication, because the parents didn't care, my personal opinion. Pay attention to the child for Pete sakes. This is what happens when you try to say a buck!
These podcasts has help me. I lost my son 4/24/2024 Forever 23 🤍🕊️ Pete Anthony Munoz will always be in my heart. I am so sorry for your loss. ❤ Thank you
I have never lost a child, but I will tell you one thing, Life would not get better, you just deal with what you lost, So that is not getting better, I think I would die if something happened to one of my kids, I could not deal with that at all. she is so calm, I know he was a hyper kid, but guess what I have a hyper kid, and he is the best thing that ever happened to me, It took a long time to deal with him. But I would never give him up for nothing. He is the most sweetest person EVER. Parents you really got to pay attention to your children, It's hard, but if you want really good kids, you have to train them to be polite and have respect other people. and also be patient, very hard but it pays off in the end
Don't EVER be afraid to ask your child anything. Your the parent. if something is bothering your child, and you think something is wrong talk to them. Who cares what they think, you train them to talk. See she had 4 kids, and everyone of them are different, so that does make it hard, but my goosh A mother knows if something is wrong with one of their children, but that is me, I have 2 and boy do I pay attention to them, I study them and I know how to talk to them, It might take some time to get how they are feeling, but you keep talking until you get to know how they think, but that is just me How sad, I don't know what I would do if this was my child, I would lose my mind.
Blake: the correct phrase is now "died by suicide," due to the phrase "committed suicide" implying suicide is a crime rather than a tragedy. Pam is a beautiful mother who is creating good out of losing Ryan, by destigmatizing mental health. Peace be with her.
Using different words isn't a deterant. Sugar coating the pain isn't a deterant. Not acknowledging the act isn't a deterant. Blame and guilt isn't a deterant. We have to figure out deterants. When people don't feel engaged, this becomes their reality. There is a certain type of child that falls victim to this mentality. We must create an engaging life for them. Due to their easy disposition, we don't fully engage them. This is something we should do between 5 and 10. Boy scouts or other character and self development activities.

To each their own! I am someone who is not bothered by the microphones at all, I appreciate all the aspects of your room decor, as well as the quality of the sound. Can I also say how refreshing it is that you seem positive and accepting of all the comments you receive, even the negative. Keep up the good work LCP
What a wonderful woman. The work her and her husband are doing for suicide prevention is amazing. RIP Ryan and Sunni
She and her husband are both amazing people!

We are so sorry for the loss of your sweet daughter. It is a hard thing to bare. We will pray for you.

This is a great idea. Thank you for that.
Blake you are a natural facilitator
Thank you. Hope you are enjoying the different podcasts. Have a wonderful day.

Thanks for your honesty. Ryan sounds like an amazing young man 💝
It was amazing to learn about him. We agree he sounds like an amazing young man.
Wow what a statement of your son. To not be ashamed of Ryan. And to be honest. Thank you for those words of wisdom.hugs
That poor kid was reaching out for something, and he didn't get it. I feel so bad for him

Dana is rockstar.
She is, isn't she!?
Why use those obtrusive, ugly microphones. Very distracting.
thanks for the input. that is what our budget can afford.
I love the microphones. Also they are not the point of what this is about. Put your heart where it belongs lady.
