What happens to those left behind?

In two years, in the United States, more people commit suicide than were killed in the Vietnam war.

What happens to the loved ones left behind? When unable to escape feelings of guilt, they are nine times more likely to take their own lives. Judy and Paul Tunkle—who lost their daughter, Lea, at the age of 22—have worked tirelessly to change that. This program highlights their efforts, as well as the labors of many survivors, to provide assistance to those left in suicide’s wake. Along the way, the Tunkles reflect on their daughter’s life, and other survivors share their experiences of loss and hope.
