How does a parent stand back up when every corner of home echoes with grief?

For EMT, educator, and loving mother Larissa Dagley, tragedy began at her teen son Cody’s shooting incident—a moment that left Cody drowning in relentless nightmares and bullying for the remainder of his life. Overwhelmed by guilt and depression, Cody took his own life almost 2 years later, plunging Larissa into a darkness so crushing, she feared her heart would literally break. Yet in the midst of excruciating grief, Larissa trusted in a Savior who heals more than sins: He mends shattered souls and whispers hope into the loneliest nights.

In this heart-wrenching episode of Latter-day Lights, Larissa recounts tender mercies, spiritual impressions, and Cody's messages from the afterlife that proved Christ never left her side. Her story offers hard-won lessons on suicide awareness, the power of compassionate words, and the healing reach of the Atonement.

If you or a loved one is wrestling with depression or suicidal ideation, Larissa’s witness reminds us that no grief is too deep, no mistake too final, and no family too wounded for the Savior’s unfailing light. Tune in and learn how, even after the worst pain imaginable, Christ can guide us from storm-tossed anguish to a sunrise of lasting peace.

When a father's greatest nightmare strikes his family not once but twice, can Heaven still find a way to spark hope?

Idaho rancher, husband, and devoted father Eldon Buchanan returns to Latter-day Lights to share the sacred tender mercies that steadied him after losing his son to suicide: Feeling the invisible strength of his son hoisting boulders for his memorial, a climb up Mount Borah where the Northern Lights felt like an embrace from Heaven, and a New Year’s graveside visit where impossibly perfect snowflakes drifted down on him, as though signed by his boys’ own hands.

In this raw retelling, Eldon shows how the Savior’s love reaches through depression’s deepest shadows with quiet, unmistakable reminders: You are seen, and no child slips from His grasp.

If you—or someone you love—are wrestling with grief or suicidal despair, Eldon’s witness offers heartfelt advice and uplifting reasons to keep going: Even shattered hearts can experience miracles, and sorrow can be transformed into an unshakable testimony—that Christ never leaves His wounded ones alone.
