In this deeply compassionate and spiritually grounded Soul Snack, Gary responds to a listener’s question about how to talk with a young man grieving the suicide of his father. With vulnerability and clarity, Gary reflects on the loss of his own brother to suicide and guides listeners into a larger understanding of such tragedies through the lens of multisensory perception and the soul’s journey.
The conversation explores how suicide is never a wise choice, as it does not end pain but instead complicates healing by removing the body — our primary means of spiritual growth on Earth.
Gary helps listeners view suicide and loss from a soul-level perspective, where pain is not only part of the human experience but also a powerful opportunity for transformation.
By recognizing emotions such as guilt, abandonment, and regret as expressions of fear, we can begin the sacred work of healing.
The path to authentic power begins with choosing to feel our pain, without acting on it, and seeing ourselves and others as souls learning in the Earth School.
From this place, healing, compassion, and spiritual growth become possible.
Please do not take anything that Gary or Linda share as true just because they say it. If it resonates with you, experiment with it in your life. If it doesn’t, let it go.

Embrace the Soul Step Challenge:
Reflect on a time when you or someone you love experienced deep emotional pain—perhaps a loss, a feeling of abandonment, or even self-loathing. Can you recognize how fear expressed itself in that experience? Take a moment to feel that pain without pushing it away or acting on it. Ask yourself, “Is this a frightened part of my personality?” Then choose to respond with compassion – for yourself and others. This is how you create authentic power—by choosing love over fear, moment by moment.
