"If I can help keep anyone from feeling the pain that losing my father caused me I will, so raising awareness and helping with prevention is always something I'm interested in. Sharing my story helped me realize that I'm not alone. It's unfortunate to connect with people over something so tragic, but feeling like nobody else could understand makes the grieving process so much more complicated." - Alumni, MO
