Our Little Brother Died by Suicide While We Were on Our Missions | Jake & Joe Sharp on Sibling Suicide Loss

Twin brothers Jake and Joe Sharp were serving church missions in Mexico when their parents called, screaming that their 16-year-old brother Sam was gone. Sam died by suicide. Jake and Joe walk me through the call, the confusion, the anger and guilt, and coming home to a family forever changed. We talk about teen depression, shame, how the people smiling the most can be hurting the deepest, and who Sam really was.
