## Resource

A writer opens up about their father’s suicide seven years ago, turning private grief into a powerful public story to fight stigma and connect with others who’ve lost loved ones. Through cherished artifacts—birth certificates, baby teeth, home movies—they rebuild their father’s life, honoring him as a single dad and veteran. As Suicide Prevention Awareness Month unfolds, Tennessee’s devastatingly high suicide rate looms large, especially poignant with the release of their memoir, “Tell the Kids I Love Them,” timed to coincide with their father’s death anniversary. The episode also honors John Seigenthaler, a former editor who saved a man from jumping off a Nashville bridge—a legacy immortalized in a bridge named after him, symbolizing courage and the life-saving power of intervention.
