Grief, Hope, and Healing with Erin Blechman

On this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, Kelli talks Erin Blechman

On June 3, 2020, she lost our eldest son, Max, to suicide after his long battle with mental illness. His death has been the most devastating experience of her life and put her on the path to become an author, speaker, and certified Grief Educator.

She is an author, speaker, and Certified Grief Educator whose mission is to elevate the conversation around grief and loss, mental illness, and suicide. Her book, My Unexpected Journey: Reflections After Losing My Son to Suicide, chronicles the eighteen months following the devastating loss of her own beloved son, Max to suicide after his long battle with mental illness.

She offers grief support to bereaved parents through online groups and community talks that seek to build greater understanding of mental illness, suicide, loss and grief.

Erin lives part-time in both Pennsylvania and Florida with her husband, Bill and Max’s former dog, Emmylou. Their son, Sam, and his wife, Julia, reside in Pa. My Unexpected Journey is her first book.
