Welcome Back!

Lori Prichard was back to work on KSL TV this morning after a four month absence. If I had gone through what Lori did, I don't know that four months would be enough time to recover, so I really admire her courage. Her life was turned upside down on August 16, 2019 when her husband took his own life. He was suffering from depression but hid it well and told no one. 

She has said "Someone told me my husband's death could make me bitter or better. I want to be better. I want to do better. I'm going to come back to work and I'm going to talk. I am going to talk about suicide and I'm going to keep talking about it. I want to reach that one person out there who needs help. Just. One. Person. You matter. You matter to me." 

"It's true. I don't really want to be the public face of my husband's death. But if I don't talk about suicide, who will? If I don't talk about what depression can do to a family, there remains a void. I'd much rather hide from my reality. But in the end, who does that really help? No one."

Welcome back, Lori, we have missed you! Our hearts still go out to you and your family. And thank you for being that voice!
