Through A Parents Tears

Navigating Suicide Loss focuses on Melinda Vail, an internationally acclaimed medium, and four families, each of whom has lost a child to suicide. This five-episode documentary tracks Melinda’s efforts to help parents as they work through the events connected to experiencing the suicide of their child. We learn the details of events, the pain, the loss, and each family’s search for ways to cope with a sudden and tragic event.

This project began in February 2019 and after six- and one-half years is finally ready for release.

Our board members include:
Dr Denise Campagnolo, Vice-President
Theo Schiro, Treasurer
Sharie Campbell, Secretary

Contributors:
Kim & Mike Choppi
Director: Melida Vail
Editor & Director: Daniel Kropman
Mentor: Patrick McMahon

The first four segments are sessions with Melinda, the parents and their child on the other side of the veil. Each segment has two parts: the initial session with Melinda in 2019 and a follow-up in 2025. They are unscripted and edited only to remove redundancies or private information that respectfully can’t be shared.

The final segment is with all of the parents, Melinda, and Patrick McMahon (our project mentor).

We, as an organization, encourage you to reach out to us if you should have any questions or need assistance.
