Story of Recovery and Hope After Attempted Suicide-With Guest Nancy Virden

Nancy Virden is a suicide attempt survivor. Diagnosed with Recurrent Major Depression in 2005, and married over thirty years to a man with the same diagnosis, Nancy has been on two intense sides of the spectrum, as the patient and as a key support. Her goal is to encourage those in emotional pain, and to help supports be effective while maintaining their own peace of mind.

During recovery, it became clear that a major commonality for people who live with mental illness is a general lack of understanding and compassion from outside and toward themselves. Through Nancy’s first two books, Called to Live: A Chronicle of Recovery After Attempted Suicide and Always the Fight: A Living Testimony of What Only God Can Do, her Compassionate Love blog, and the public sharing of her story, Nancy confronts stigma head-on, and offers an inside look into Major Depression as only one who has been there can.
