I Wish He Had Received More Love with Erika Mahoney

Erika Mahoney spent years reporting on other people's stories. She never imagined she would become one herself.In this episode, we sit down with Erika to talk about the day everything changed. While working as a journalist, she learned that an active shooter had opened fire at the grocery store where her father was shopping. She shares what it was like to navigate those agonizing hours as both a reporter and a daughter, why it's so important to remember victims for the lives they lived instead of the way they died, and how she's using storytelling to ensure her father's legacy lives on. We also discuss the realities of grief after the headlines fade, the healing that can come from sharing your story, and why there is no timeline for moving forward.Resources:Tune in to Erika’s podcast: https://www.erikamahoney.com/podcastFree confidential help is always available at victimconnect.org If you have been a victim of a crime and would like to share your story, please contact us at media@victimsofcrime.org —This podcast discusses real crimes and may include sensitive topics that could be difficult for some listeners.
