Jenny DeBolt

I lost my 14 month old niece in a drowning, my sister/best friend to suicide 8 years after that, my dad to suicide 4 years after that, my son‘s girlfriend to suicide 5 years after that, and my maid of honor to murder/suicide 4 years after that. All of that in a span of 21 years. I eventually realized I was created for a bigger purpose. I put my grief heart into a passionate drive to help people live joyously despite life’s trauma. I also help others navigate the complicated suicide loss grief. I co facilitate peer support groups for two different associations/nonprofits in Arizona on Monday and Tuesday nights. I’m a congressional recognition recipient for the work I do. I’ve written a book, Suicide & Sequins, releasing April 2022. My next goal is to create a nonprofit that offers peer support groups for those that have attempted suicide or are at suicide risk. It’s my way of offering non-clinical suicide prevention support. I want to get on the front end of suicide in a meaningful and impactful way.
