Tim Stuenkel ’s sisters, Julie and Jill, light up when talking about their smart, fun, lovable, younger brother.
They miss him so much.
Nearing the three-year anniversary of his death, his sisters courageously share the story of finding Tim after he chose to end his life at the age of 44. They also share the pain, regret and guilt they carry.
“It’s hard on the people left behind. You think about the years of suffering that we didn’t know he was going through this,” Jill said. “You don’t want anyone to go through that kind of pain, and feel so alone and isolated, and like they have no other choices.”
We hope you listen, share this episode with others, and go check on your friends and neighbors.
