KFI AM 640. You're listening to the John Cobel podcast on the IHeart Radio app.

We're on from 1 until 4 every day. After 4 o'clock, John Cobalt show On Demand on the IHeart app.

And later on in the hour at about 350, Alex Michelson from Fox 11 News is coming on because tonight is the debate, the ABC presidential debate.

We're going to carry it live at 6 o'clock here on KFI to 7.30.

And then you want to see me on TV.

Go at 730 to Fox 11 and I'll be on Alex's panel show to discuss the debate with Lisa Bloom and I have another person that's

also on. Oh, you know, I got to, hold on, I got to check the text he sent me. And then it's Lisa

Bloom and Melanie Mason from Politico. Okay. Yesterday we brought you part one of Deborah Mark's special report on suicide,

September, Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Yesterday was about the people left behind.

When someone kills themselves, people left behind friends and family. And at the end, you probably heard Deborah allude to her mother.

Killed herself over 20 years ago.

And she's never talked publicly about this.

And Deborah's here to introduce this piece.

What are we going to hear in the next few minutes?

Well, what you're going to hear basically is I'll just do the lead-in and then we'll hear it.

So basically, it's okay for people to talk about

their loved ones killing themselves september is national suicide prevention and awareness month

and as k fives debor mark explains it's okay to admit your loved one took their own life.

Even if it was more than two decades ago.

It's been a secret.

It's been a secret that I've held on to for 22 years.

So the longer you hold on to a secret, right, the harder it is to share.
