Letters to John Boy — Grief, Forgiveness & Finding Hope (with John Anthony) - Part 2

Bill continues his conversation with John Anthony—former Illinois state representative, law enforcement officer, and host of Black and Right Radio and Detroit’s Morning Answer. John reads from his deeply personal book, Letters to John Boy, written after the tragic loss of his son to suicide. In this segment, John shares:

• A raw letter to his late son, John Boy, about love, regret, forgiveness, and the unbearable weight of loss.
• How grief fractures families but can also deepen faith and resilience.
• His hope that sharing his story will help others battling suicidal thoughts—or parents walking through unimaginable grief.
• A reminder that those left behind are not alone and that healing, while painful, is possible.

Bill closes the episode reflecting on John and his wife Deb’s example of strength, faith, and honesty in the face of tragedy—and how their story can serve as an inspiration for others facing loss.

Signed copies of Letters to John Boy are available at BlackAndRightRadio.com or on Amazon.
