Losing A Spouse to Suicide: Grief, Military Families, and Single Parenting with Andrew Coussens

Summary: Andrew Coussens was getting ready for his 22nd deployment when he found out his wife had taken her life.  Instantly, he became a single dad to his three young kids and had to figure out his “new normal” as he coped with grief, an entirely new day-to-day life, and parenting solo.  I had him on my podcast to talk about his new book “A Failed State” which is a fiction book that parallels his own experience with the military, the dynamic of deployment and how that impacts families, and more. - Na
