HAMPTON ROADS, Va. - Virginia state officials say there's been a large spike in the number of kids calling the suicide prevention hotline.
News 3 spoke to Deana McClung, a local mom who knows the unbearable pain of losing a loved one to suicide.
She said her son was outgoing, played guitar and had dreams of being a musician, but in 2014, 19-year-old David McClung took his own life.
âThere's a lot of anger. It's weird what grief does to you. It's like a bag of emotions thrown on you that you don't want,â Deana said. âAnger, guilt, confusion - wondering, 'Why? How, why did this happen?'â
