In this deeply moving episode of Soul Soldier Speaks, I sit down with author and advocate Melissa-Sue Methven to discuss the hidden struggles of addiction, mental health, and suicide. Melissa shares her powerful journey after losing her husband, Scott, to suicide and how she turned her pain into purpose.

We explore the silent battles many face, the stigma surrounding mental health—especially for men—and the role of addiction in masking deep emotional wounds. Melissa opens up about the challenges of loving someone struggling with addiction, the importance of setting boundaries, and how healing ourselves allows us to support others.

This conversation is for anyone who has lost a loved one, is supporting someone in their darkest moments, or is searching for hope amid grief. Join us as we honor Scott's story and shed light on the resilience and healing possible even in the face of devastating loss.
