***TRIGGER WARNING - This episode contains conversations about mental health and suicide.***
Avremi Gourarie is a prolific music publisher behind so much of the Jewish world's music. In this episode, we discuss with him the life of his daughter Yocheved, her struggle with an eating disorder, depression, and her heartbreaking recent death.
On December 22, 2020, Avremi's daughter Yocheved took her own life. Yocheved was a kind and thoughtful person. She was a top student and was in the process of applying to Ph.D. nursing programs. Posthumously, the family learned that she was accepted at Columbia University in their DNP program and on track to becoming a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Unfortunately, her battle with mental illness raged, and she succumbed to it, not having fulfilled her dreams.
This conversation is powerful and it gives me a lot of hope. Avremi is honest and authentic, and he doesn't hold back. The episode is intense and emotional and it's a very much-needed conversation that can be taboo in many circles. On that note, if you are struggling and/or know someone who is struggling never hesitate to reach out and check in with your friend, family, and/or neighbor.
