September is Suicide Awareness Month and it’s important to me to take some time to bring awareness and a voice for those healing from the loss of a loved one. For my two guests, it’s the unimaginable loss of a child. But through their work and faith, they are learning to heal and perhaps help others find some sense of purpose for those gone far too soon.
Attorney Joseph Feaster, Jr. did what any parent would do with a sick child...he took care of him. But when his son, Joseph, III, succumbed to his illness, he made it his ministry to be an advocate for mental health.
My husband drew closer to God and his faith. Through what was broken, he took his love for children and built an amazing space for children to learn and grow in their walk with God.
And that’s exactly what these two men have in common…a faith and purpose to help heal and others heal.
