Her Mother Unexpectedly Took Her Own Life

As a string of high-profile stories dominate the news, Dr. Phil addresses the complex issue of suicide. Kim says that she and her family never imagined their 20-year-old son, Bryson, would die by suicide. Kim says Bryson had no history of mental illness, no chemical imbalances or drug use. Kim says she is looking for answers and strength to work through the immense grief she is feeling. Kim’s husband, Brian, says he is still in a state of shock that he is gone. Brian says he and his family want to meet with Dr. Phil to raise awareness so that other families do not have to go through a similar experience. Bryson’s sister, Peyton, says she is trying to stay strong for her family during this impossibly difficult time. Then, Justice says her mother died by suicide in 2019, and she is still working through immense grief. However, she shares a message of hope with Bryson’s family. And, Tenny’s daughter Tara died by suicide in 2019 at age 27. Tenny says she had no idea her daughter was struggling and feels guilty that she missed the warning signs. Dr. Phil also meets a mother of three, Carol, whose beloved son Matt died by suicide in 2017. Carol says she is now a member of a support group that mentors families affected by suicide. (20099)
