Leftover Pieces With Melissa Bottorff-Arey (Content Warning)

Melissa Bottorff-Arey’s life turned upside down when her son, Alex, took his own life during his junior year at college. Her podcast, The Leftover Pieces, features conversations on living life after suicide loss. We’re discussing the rage that follows learning more information about a loss, how our mental health changes when someone we love dies, the glaring holes in our school systems that fail kids at an emotional and mental level, and how the suicide of a child changes identity as a mother.
*Contains explicit and strong suicide-related language
