When we went home, you know, we went outside and played. You know I am, I am in a really good place, and if you would have told me Eight Years Ago that I would be doing the things I'm doing, living the life I'm living after the suicide death of my oldest child, I would have told you: no, I'm crawled up in a ball somewhere, right.
What happens when a father's worst nightmare becomes a catalyst for change? In this episode of Steppin' Out Radio, John Trautwein opens up about the heartbreaking loss of his son, Will, to depression. Instead of succumbing to despair, John channels his grief into something profoundly meaningful through his foundation, Will to Live. He emphasizes the vital importance of discussing mental health openly and recognizing the signs of depression and suicide, especially among teens and young adults.
Trautwein's story isn't just about loss; it's about the power of community and friendship in the healing process. He passionately talks about how strong relationships can be a lifeline during tough times. By promoting mental health awareness and encouraging young people to lean on each other, John's mission is to turn tragedy into a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear how one man's journey through unimaginable pain is making a difference in countless lives.
