Mothers of Veteran Suicide
In Episode 99 of the Get ’N Your Business Podcast, Alison Shores sits down with Michelle and Melissa from Mothers of Veteran Suicide to share a deeply meaningful conversation about loss, healing, and the power of community.
Michelle opens up about how her journey began—traveling the country in an American flag-wrapped RV, connecting with veterans and first responders, and hearing their stories. That path led her to meet mothers grieving the loss of their children to veteran suicide, which ultimately sparked the creation of a faith-based support network designed specifically for them.
The episode highlights the real and often overlooked ripple effect of suicide—impacting not just parents, but spouses, children, siblings, and entire families. Through retreats, counseling resources, support groups, and outreach initiatives, Mothers of Veteran Suicide is working to ensure that no one has to navigate that grief alone.
From powerful healing moments like writing messages in bottles to providing practical support for grandmothers raising grandchildren, this episode shows how one mission is creating hope in the middle of heartbreak—and how Camden County can be part of that impact.
