Content Note: This episode includes discussion of suicide.

Part 2 continues Jacqueline’s story, moving into what came after the loss.

She shares what those months really looked like, the anger, the grief, and the weight of unanswered questions. The parts people don’t always see or talk about.

After months of carrying that weight, she reached a breaking point.

Jacqueline opens up about the moment she prayed for the first time again, and how that moment shifted something in her. What followed was a clear sense of direction she believes God placed on her heart.

From that place, she began to rebuild, eventually creating something to help others walking through similar pain.

In Part 2, she shares:
• What those first months of grief really felt like
• The weight of anger, guilt, and unanswered questions
• The moment she turned back to faith
• How that moment began to shift her perspective
• How the foundation started
• What people often misunderstand about depression
• What she wants others to hear if they are struggling

This is a conversation about grief, but also about what can come from it.

Jacqueline is the founder of the Erick A. Garcia You Are Enough Foundation, created in honor of her son to bring awareness, support, and resources to individuals and families impacted by mental health struggles and suicide loss.
