This week's guest, Mandi tells us about her son, Tate who passed away a couple of years ago. Tate was a talented, smart, brave, and very busy boy who seemed to excel at many things in life. Tate unfortunately left this world too soon, and Mandi does a beautiful job at sharing her experiences through the grief and mourning of her son.

We love when you guys leave comments for our guests. Thank you for listening to our episodes. We love you guys!

Christa is our guest for this weeks episode. She share's her story of losing one of her older brother's to suicide, and going through such a traumatic event when she was only 15. Christa describes to us what life looked like for her and what mental changes she had to make for herself after her brother passed away. Losing a family member is so traumatic. Losing your big brother with whom you were very close with, when you are a sophomore in high school, adds another layer of trauma. She share's with us some advice about how she felt as the sibling in grief, versus what parent's can be going through. We loved learning from her and the perspective that she has. We hope you love this weeks episode.

XOXO - Whit + Kels
