Today, Monique talks about the dark side of love, or as she calls it, The Black Rose. We take a deep dive into a tragic moment in Monique’s first marriage, when, after 23-years, she lost her first husband to suicide. The day was Sunday November 26th, 2006, a day when Monique recalls in graphic detail, how she witnessed the sudden, final moment when her husband took his life with his own firearm. She shares the imagery and the screams of panic and chaos of the incident. Regardless of still having a pulse, her husband was pronounced dead shortly after the ambulance arrived at the hospital. Before she was able to even tell her children that their father was dead, she was taken into custody by law enforcement for over 5-hours of questioning and even after, had been officially declared as a suspect of murder. Monique shares her thoughts, feelings, effort, and work that went into moving on and going forward in life while mourning, worrying for her children, and even being investigated for murder. A cautionary tale of how you to can offer life, love, and light.
