Bruce Simpson: A Warrior's Journey to Hope
For 30 years, a silent battle raged within Bruce Simpson.
Bruce carried the heavy burden of depression, strongly dismissing any suggestion of getting help as a weakness.
Bruce, a successful lawyer, husband, and father and veteran who looked like he had it all.
Inside, he was desperately searching for answers, but the darkness seemed all-consuming.
Trigger Warning: Bruce's story deals with depression and attempted suicide. Before Bruce speaks, please know that he will be speaking about his lifelong battle with depression and attempted suicide.
If this discussion might be upsetting, you may want to opt out of listening. Suicide is a major public health problem, with one person dying by suicide every 11 minutes in the United States."

He believed his family would be better off without him.
