Let's Talk About Grief With Anne Anne DeButte

Hello listeners, thank you for joining us. We'll discuss end-of-life conversations and their importance. I hope you agree that you need to be aware of this!

However, I am certain others will think, "Oh, I don't need to listen to this. I don't need this yet." Please, before you go, I would love you to stick around just a little bit longer to hear what my guest, Jonathan Fleece, has to say about his company, Empath Health, one of the country's largest not-for-profit health systems, delivering non-acute care services in the US.

There is also a link to a newly released film called Suncoast. Jonathan is the Empath president and, as I've mentioned, a CEO. I'm looking forward to discussing how this organization and the unique connection came about. 

As this levels, many areas that somebody going through grief, anticipatory grief is likely to experience, and just why having an end-of-life conversation with our loved ones is so very important. 
 
Here's what we talk about:

Welcome everyone to our heartfelt space, where we weave hope, wisdom, compassion, and an understanding into the fabric of our conversation about one of life's most profound challenges - grief and loss. We recognize that few experiences come as deeply as the pain of losing a loved one, especially when the loss comes at the hand of a silent battle with inner demons. 

Today, we're going to be stepping into that realm often shrouded in silence and taboo, the heart-wrenching topic of suicide.

We're engaging in a candid conversation with Dr. Keith McNally, whose multifaceted life story includes surviving suicide, as well, if that wasn't enough, a heart attack. Among his many pursuits, now, he is aiming to support suicide survivors, as well as their families.

Our guest has a diverse professional background as a social worker, a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, and a survivor's testimony. He also brings a wealth of insight into the labyrinth of human suffering and resilience. And I'd love you to warmly welcome Dr. Keith McNally to our show today!

The internal conflicts and struggles faced by individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts.What strategies does Dr. McNally employ to cope with suicidal thoughts?Emotional or psychological states might indicate that someone is at risk of suicidal ideation.What are some common misconceptions or myths surrounding suicide?And much more!

Welcome, listeners. And I'm thrilled to introduce our next guest, retired Lieutenant Colonel Jason Pike, a decorated combat veteran. He's the author of A Soldier Against All Odds, and I hope you'll stick around for this very inspiring conversation. In his captivating memoirs, Jason shares his remarkable journey of resilience and triumph, and he has faced imaginable adversity while serving his country, and it didn't all come from the enemy. A pivotal moment in Jason's life occurred when his father died shortly before his deployment overseas.

Struggling to navigate the depths of grief, he found himself confronted by the destructive actions of someone he served with who maligned his character and identity. Yet, in the face of such adversity, Jason managed to grieve his loss and remained steadfast in his commitment to his duties, ensuring the safety and well-being of the men who served under him.

As I've mentioned, A Soldier Against All Odds is where Jason will dive deep into his profound challenges. It will offer us valuable insight, dear listeners, into how one can endure heartache, fulfill responsibilities, and emerge even stronger than before. Through his indomitable spirit, Jason's story serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with loss and adversity and questioning their ability to persevere.
