## Resource

Thirty years after his brother Thackston’s suicide, Fielding Freed opens up about the hidden pain of mental illness and the devastating aftermath left behind — a grief that lingers like a second shadow. Thackston, once vibrant and popular, battled unseen anxiety and depression, leaving the Coast Guard after bullying, then seeking treatment before his tragic death while his parents were away on vacation. Fielding and his wife Lana share their raw, enduring loss, urging listeners to recognize the silent struggles beneath the surface — and to reach out when help is needed.
