407: Hope After Loss with Deacon Barney and Paula Lejeune
How do families find hope after losing a loved one to suicide? This week on Can I Getta Amen, Deacon Barney Lejeune and his wife, Paula, join Kristi to remember their daughter Andrea and share how their grief led them to help other families facing suicide loss. Barney and Paula talk about Andrea’s life, the challenges their family faced, and the faith and community that have helped them carry their grief. They also share how the Diocese of Lafayette’s Mass of Remembrance began—and why it matters for families to know they are not alone. The Mass of Remembrance is Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette.
