(Ep. #99) Molly O'Neil - Suicide Loss Survivor of a First Responder

Molly O'Neil joins us and shares about her husband Chris. She talks about meeting him when she was still in high school, going to the same college, and falling in love. She talks about starting a family together, and how Chris lived and loved to be a father. She describes her experience when Chris began to struggle, and what was going on in those days and weeks leading up to his loss. Molly also shares with us what life was like for her family after Chris passed, the struggles, the grief, and the challenges they all faced, as well as the support they received, and how she began to heal and move forward in life. Today Molly is helping to break the stigma that often makes it difficult for first responders to reach out for help during times of struggle, she is helping others as a reiki master, she has worked with the Quell foundation, an organization she speaks highly of and recommends their first responder resiliency project as a helpful and impactful resource for first responders.
