Have you ever lost a loved one from suicide? Are you struggling from it now? You may not be the only one struggling with this type of grief. Here to kick us off with the debut of Part 2 is Founder and President of The Waffles Foundation, Alfred Bahna.
Having lost his son in 2019 from suicide, Alfred Bahna talks about how he and his wife have been dealing with the grief of losing their only son Matthew Bahna (a.k.a. Waffles) who was a well-known musician in their community. After losing his son, Alfred talks about how he wanted to do something to commemorate Matthew's name leading to the founding of his 501 (c) (3) not for profit. Alfred talks about his not for profit, what is means to him and his wife to have started it, and how it has changed lives for other people in his community upon its founding.
