What happens when the pain we've buried for years finally demands to be heard?

In this powerful conversation, Tiffaney Childers shares her journey through unimaginable loss, grief, trauma, silence, and healing.

Tiffaney lost both of her parents to suicide—one year and five days apart. For years, she did what many of us do with overwhelming pain: she survived, she kept moving, and she buried it.

But eventually, that buried pain began showing up in other ways.

Tiffaney opens up about the impact of grief and isolation, turning to alcohol to cope, finding sobriety, rebuilding her life, discovering the importance of community, and learning to take responsibility for her healing without shaming the person she had to become to survive.

She also shares about her years volunteering with the Local Outreach to Suicide Survivors (LOSS) Team, helping families navigate the unimaginable aftermath of suicide loss.

And throughout our conversation, one message keeps coming back:

You don't have to carry it alone.

For Suicide Prevention Month, this conversation is a reminder that breaking the silence can begin with something as simple as telling someone, “I need you to listen.”
