A Hero's Pain No One Saw: A Mom's Mission After Son's Suicide

Behind every badge is a son, a daughter, a spouse, a parent, and a family whose lives are forever intertwined with the call to serve.In this deeply personal and emotional episode, we sit down with the mother of CHP Officer Alexander Guerra, who tragically died by suicide on September 12, 2019. Alexander was more than a law enforcement officer. He was a devoted son, brother, Marine Corps veteran, and public servant who dedicated his life to protecting others.Before joining the California Highway Patrol, Alexander served in the United States Marine Corps as an intelligence specialist and completed a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan. Following his honorable discharge, he continued his commitment to service by becoming a peace officer, carrying forward a family tradition of public service in law enforcement.Through the eyes of a loving mother, listeners will learn about the young man behind the uniform, his passion for serving others, the challenges faced by military veterans and first responders, and the devastating impact that suicide has on families left behind. Together, we discuss the hidden wounds that often go unseen, the importance of recognizing warning signs, and the need to break the stigma surrounding mental health within the military and law enforcement communities.This is not simply a story about loss.
