Two years after the loss of her husband to suicide, the award-winning journalist, Lori Prichard says she still experiences confusion; At times, life feels overwhelming. In this honest interview, she tells us about Travis, his gentleness and generosity, as well as his history of depression, which had never been shared with her. “He wouldn’t let me in,” she says.

Days after his death, Lori found a journal kept by Travis. His lines revealed a tortured soul who used to write that he had a “bully in his brain” and who struggled, in silence, to search for meaning and purpose so that he would stay alive.

Our conversation reveals a compassionate woman who chooses to come forward so that she can help others start the painful, difficult conversation about suicidal ideation with their loved ones.
