We also mark personal milestones: honest talks about suicidal ideation, a 100-pound weight-loss journey, and the launch of Lisa's memoir about surviving suicide loss, Surviving: Finding Hope After Suicide Loss (Familius Books). Resources, crisis guidance, and invitations to keep the conversation going are shared throughout.
