  Military spouses, like me, living with a depressed or suicidal member face excruciating circumstances.

Danny signed up to serve his country on Sept. 11, 2001. He deployed twice to Iraq and served one remote tour to Korea. “I knew that I had issues, but I did not want the Army to know that I had issues,” Danny told me. However, before deploying for a third time, military mental health flagged him as someo ..read more

  Suicide is the second-leading cause of death among active duty military members. The military for many years had suicide rates that were below the national average. Today, those rates are at or above that average. Being a spouse of a member who struggles with mental health issues is the hardest thing I have walked through.

Thankfully, there are organizations and people are stepping up to fill in th ..read more
