## Resource

In this deeply emotional episode of 'Voices Against Filicie,' host Hope Hooton, who has personally experienced the tragedy of losing her children Alec and Lydia to filicide, welcomes her long-time friend, Lauren Webb. Together, they discuss their lifelong friendship, the unimaginable loss of Alec and Lydia, and the red flags in Hope's marriage that preceded the tragedy. They also talk about their efforts to raise awareness about filicide, the support systems they've leaned on, and the importance of community and advocacy in the face of such devastating loss. Listeners are reminded of the pressing need for systemic change to prevent similar tragedies and are provided with valuable resources for grief and support.
