“Young parents, start talking to your children at a very young age and make sure they have confidence and freedom in you,” he wrote on the social media platform. “Don’t be ‘I’m fine or I’m fine’ when you know that things aren’t right in the depths. Mental health is real, and in most cases it’s invisible, and don’t ignore these signs, even if they look small.
“Our lives have changed forever, and it will never be OK, but God needs my baby more than it needs here. It has to be the biggest pill our family must swallow, but I know the love and compassion in our family will get us through it. It will always be easier, but we will learn to live with it.”
