John and Christine Gregorek's son, Patrick, passed away by suicide in March of 2019.
In this interview, we talk about:
- Patrick’s life story and when they started seeing Patrick have mental health trouble
- How they helped Patrick as parents with getting Patrick professional help
- Patrick’s college experience and the events leading up to Patrick’s passing his senior year
- Their pieces of advice to anyone struggling with mental health
- Their advice for parents who also have also lost a child to suicide
As many of you know, Pat was a friend of mine and he was the reason in March of 2020 I started the Grateful Living Podcast. I wanted to do something to honor and keep his spirit alive.
We love and miss you Pat 🙏🏽
