Navigating Life After Suicide with David Szweda, Hudson’s dad

Hope After Child Loss/The Empty Chair Endeavor

The unthinkable happened on January 17, 2023. David Szweda and his family’s lives would never again be the same, as they learned their 24 year old dearly loved son, Hudson had taken his own life. Such pain and loss leave parents utterly broken, wondering if they’ll survive it … and if they even want to.
A father’s heart is to protect and care for his spouse and children; the death of a child not only leaves him broken, but often dealing with a sense of guilt because he failed to protect, and anger because he couldn’t control the circumstances.
Join us as David and I discuss how GOD’s helped him begin processing and navigating a grief journey towards healing and wholeness. David’s transparency and authenticity will inspire and encourage you with the hope that is found in the One “who is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18.
