Dr. Kimberly Kimbrough-Edwards’s Story
Author, Community Leader, Mentor, Educator, therapist, certified Master Life Coach, a certified Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Trainer (ASIST Trainer) and Motivational Speaker Kimberly D. Kimbrough-Edwards, founder of There is Life after Life (LAL), had her world turned upside down on June 18, 2017 upon receiving a phone call that her then 19yr old son had taken his own life with a gunshot to the head. Her son suffered from severe depression and suicide ideation.
Unfortunately, suicide has become a way of escape from unhealthy thoughts that plagues the minds of so many battling with mental health. Suicide and suicidal thoughts don’t attach themselves to a certain name, gender, or person of status, and can happen to the best of us.
