Not long ago, I got a call from a friend that her 19-year-old daughter Liv had died by suicide. Their family was shaken to the core, never to be the same. My journey with Liv started when she was a young child. Her grandmother Penni was our first volunteer at There With Care, the nonprofit I started 18 years ago in Boulder to help children and families with a child facing a critical illness.
