Over a year ago, Rene lost her son Zack when he took his own life on October 3, 2017.

"I couldn't at first — I couldn't write, I couldn't talk about it," she said.

But now Rene's written a book, One Heart at a Time, in which she opens up about her painful experience.

She hopes the book will encourage parents to start a conversation about suicide.






She experienced writer's block while penning Zack's story, and her publishers were concerned. At one point, they contacted Rene's sister to write in her stead.

"She said, 'I'll help. You know, I'll step in and help,' and I'm like, 'Oh, no, no, no, no. Nobody's telling Zack's story but me,'" said Rene.

The revered advice-giver was praised for her openness in the GMA interview.




GMA viewers also appreciated Roberts' interview with Delilah.

Delilah, a mother of 13, including 10 adopted children, took a break from her eight million listeners after her son's death.

It was her listeners who helped her through the grieving process.

The devout Christian said she "would not be standing if it weren't for the prayers of my friends, my family, and my listeners."

"So many listeners sent the most beautiful thoughts and prayers and shared their own stories of loss and grief and what helped them get through."

A year later, she still struggles with her devastating loss.

"I finish the show and that's when it hits. Because that was our time together. My son was a night owl."

Fox Shades Trump With Seemingly Never-Ending List Of Goods Impacted By Trump's Tariffs

During a segment with South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace, Fox News had many thinking the network was shading President Donald Trump by airing an extremely long scroll of products and industries that will be affected by his newly announced tariffs on a wide range of goods imported from Canada, Mexico, and China.

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

CVS Sparks Debate With Glitchy Solution For Customers To Unlock Theft-Protection Cases Themselves

While shopping in the United States, it's become increasingly common to see popular items locked up, either with a small, plastic attachment that will start an alarm at one of the store's exits, or large theft-protection cases that leave a wall between the customer and product.
