On November 28, 2024, I became a green star widow, a term that signifies a widow who has lost a military member to suicide. My late husband, Mitchell Bassett Jr., was a veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I endured not only his tragic death but also the pain of his prior suicide attempt just months before. Throughout our journey together, I faced the challenges of his alcoholism, depression, and PTSD, which he battled daily. My mission is to raise awareness about the devastating reality of veteran suicide, which claims the lives of at least 22 individuals each day. While my ultimate aim is prevention, I also seek to offer support to those impacted by this tragedy, helping them navigate their grief and loss. It is imperative to illuminate the consequences of such situations, as the effects of these 22 daily tragedies extend beyond the families left behind, permeating the wider community and demanding attention. By sharing my personal story, I aspire to encourage veterans who are struggling to seek help. There is immense strength and bravery in asking for and accepting assistance. Additionally, I aim to reassure families who are grieving that there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. I am committed to providing help and support to those affected wherever possible.
