Going, Going, Gone

Fair warning, this story is not the happiest. I wrote an immersion memoir about my friend Jake's suicide and an attempt my mom made when I was 10 years old.

For the piece, I visited Jake's parents and talked to them about him and his life. I wanted to know how the people closest to him were coping since I had no idea where to start.

It was a healing process for both me and his parents. The writing for me. Talking for them.
