{*Trigger Warning*

This episode contains descriptions of death and suicide that some listeners may find disturbing and may not be suitable for younger audiences. Listener discretion is advised.}

This episode deals with the reality that the holiday season holds more than just joy and peace - you may find that these days that have been looked forward to and cherished are hijacked by death and you are left blindsided.

Tony and Kimberley sit down and share their experience of losing a loved one to suicide during the "happiest time of the year" and how they navigated, not just the immediate days, but the years following.

If you or a loved one is struggling with depression or suicidal thoughts, please know that there is hope in Jesus and there are resources for you. In the US & Canada, the Suicide Crisis Hotline is 988.

Tony and Kimberley are joined with our special guest, and friend, Jayme Dafoe, host of Homeschool; Autism; Life!
