# 51 A Mother’s Journey through her Sons Addiction & Suicide Barbara Legere

Author and advocate, Barbara Legere, has dedicated her life to fighting stigma against mental illness, substance abuse, and suicide. As well as talking about grieving after losing a child, she writes about chemical dependency, depression, and anxiety.

As a single mother to my son, Keven, I journeyed alongside him through his addiction and mental health issues. Ultimately, his suicide led me to begin writing a memoir about what I've learned and am learning through my loss. I write from the heart in hopes that my story will help others.
