Hope After Suicide Loss: A Mother's Story

In this deeply personal episode of The Shieldmaidens, Cheryl shares the story of her son, Erik, and the heartbreaking loss her family experienced when he died by suicide at the age of 36. 

With honesty, courage, and faith, Cheryl opens up about the realities of grief, the difficult questions that follow a tragedy like this, and how God has carried her through one of the darkest seasons of her life. Together, we discuss suicide, mental health, loss, healing, and the hope that can still be found even when life doesn't make sense. 

Our prayer is that this conversation honors Erik's life, encourages those who are grieving, and reminds anyone who may be struggling that they are not alone. 

If you or someone you love is battling hopelessness, we encourage you to reach out for help and support. There is hope, and your life has value.
