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.
