#Not a lot going on at the moment how to

I feel like Heidi to be able to circle back around seven years ago, you and I spoke shortly after you lost your 16 year old son, Cory to suicide. Morgan Jones Pearson: Well, this is kind of an interesting thing. Heidi Swapp: Thanks for having me, Morgan. This is All In, an LDS Living podcast where we ask the question, what does it really mean to be all in the gospel of Jesus Christ? I'm Morgan Pearson, and I am honored to have Heidi Swapp on the show with me today, Heidi, welcome. We are so grateful to Heidi for her willingness to share her story. As September is Suicide Prevention Month. For years following her son Cory's passing Heidi was the co-host of a podcast called Light The Fight, which sought to bring light to tough topics related to personal and family relationships. She is the creative director of her own Heidi Swapp brand. Heidi Swapp is perhaps best known within the scrapbooking community as she calls herself a memory keeper. So when suicide became a reality in my own family with my own beautiful, funny, charismatic, charming, athletic life of the party, best smile award winning high school sophomore, newly driver's licensed son, I was completely devastated and everything I believed about my family, my parenting and life as I knew it was shattered.' Today, we talked with Heidi Swapp about how seeking to help others understand the things she wished she known helped her pick up the pieces in the years since, and how all of us can begin what she calls everyday suicide prevention with the people we love. Sure, I had known a few stories of people that had ended their lives all of which I carried a certain critical judgment that was completely based on zero facts, 100% lack of understanding, or compassion. I just didn't even know anything about suicide. Complete shock does not even begin to describe how I felt, whether it be ignorance or optimism. On July 9, my 16 year old son, my second oldest of five children, made the decision to end his own life by suicide. I guess it's because that's when my whole world changed completely in a way that I would have never imagined.

Thank you all for following along with my writing journey, so I wanted to give you exclusive details about my upcoming novel before I share it anywhere else…just to say thanks for supporting me so much!
