Sometimes things don’t work out the way we want or the way they should. Kristie Morton knows that personally. She lost her 14-year-old son, Hunter, to suicide on February 12, 2022. Kristie shares very candidly about her journey as a mother who has lost a child to suicide. Kristie emphasizes that parents who have lost children still want to talk about their child, and how important it is to check on the siblings and the dads as well as the moms.
Kristie shares how she knew that she had to do something immediately after losing Hunter and that she and her husband were committed to not hiding the fact that Hunter’s death was by suicide. In the wake of her grief, Kristie started the You Matter organization in her local community of Archie, Missouri (https://www.facebook.com/YouMatterArchie/). Kristie and “her girls” work tirelessly to make all members of their community feel loved and heard. Kristie has taken the indescribable pain of losing a child to suicide and channeled her experience into helping others not have to go through the same kind of pain she has experienced.
