In this episode, Josh and Jenna talk openly about suicide through the lens of Josh’s personal story: the anniversary of his brother Jason taking his own life. They walk through what those dates bring up, why suicide grief can feel different than other loss, and how anger, guilt, and shock can show up before “normal” grieving even feels possible.
