Join the Chase
Practical, No-nonsense Advice About Finding Joy Through Tragedy
Chase Block shares his unflinchingly honest journey from a 5-year-old trying unsuccessfully to keep his parents together through age 14, when his prescription drug-addicted mother committed suicide with a handgun in a hotel room.
In a last-ditch effort to persuade his mom to get help, Chase and his brother had given her an ultimatum -- until she kicked her addictions, she could not see or talk to her sons. They reasoned that since they were the most important things in her life, they were the only ones who might be able to convince her to accept help. Just two weeks after that last conversation, Tina Block took her life.
