Don't know what to say when a friend or loved one is struggling? Listen. Our new podcast episode with Meg Kissinger is a powerful reminder sometimes the most helpful thing we can do is just be there. It's not about having the right words, it's about offering a compassionate ear.

Meg's family, by allowing her access to their medical records and to publish personal stories, proved that being seen "in all their humanity" is not a source of shame, but of powerful connection and hope.
Her family story — a history that includes the death of two siblings by su***de — is a raw, unwavering testament to the strength found in vulnerability and communication. Listen to this inspiring episode to learn more.
