GV Wire: Hurtado’s Bill Aims To Reduce Suicide in California
When Brandy Lidbeck was 10 years old, her mom killed herself.
“It was incredibly devastating,” said Lidbeck, the program coordinator for Survivors of Suicide Loss.
For years, Lidbeck felt alone, ashamed and embarrassed. She constantly wondered if she bore any responsibility.
