Her Father Committed Suicide When She Was a Little Girl
Ronda’s father, Ron, broke his back one day when he was out skiing with his girls. The injury was so severe he was informed he would probably remain paralyzed from the waist down. Moreover, Ron suffered from a blood disorder that made it difficult for his body to heal appropriately.
Ron fell into a deep depression and ultimately took his own life. Ronda was only eight years old. Today, she isn’t afraid to speak up about the event and believes we should stop stigmatizing suicide as a taboo subject. She stresses that there’s nothing to be ashamed of.
