Erica, you allowed the story almost to tell itself. To all who knew Finn, I hope that your memories and experiences of him at least balance the pain of his loss, if not outweigh it. And you manage to capture it and share it with us. The brilliance of this young being, his family, his life lived in Hardwick, the brilliance of this community. Exquisitely heartbreaking and heart enlivening all at once. Thank you for this beautiful gift. Thank you so much Anne for listening to this and for understanding the ending so beautifully\u2026.<\/p>\n

Profoundly moving. Still wiping the tears away. What a gift Finn was, what an immense act of bravery Tara showed, what talent and compassion you brought to this work, Erica. Never to be forgotten. Thank you, Erika, for having the courage to work on this project and the skill to pull it off in a way that is a gift for everyone. And thank you to Tara, for having the courage to face such enormous grief and work to benefit others in doing so. It is incomprehensible sad and still so beautiful.<\/p>\n

If only we could all realize what Tara realized it that horrible moment, that we are put here, in these bodies, at this time, for each other. I feel such love and gratitude to Tara, all of the voices, and Erica for bringing us this story. Many others have said how indelibly touched they feel by being allowed this closeness. I join that community. Thank you for this beautiful piece. Finn modeled strength and love for us in a way that is rare and invaluable.<\/p>\n

He dreamed the best for us all, worked to harmonize us in our beautiful differences and put his shoulder under anyone wanting to move with him toward the same. Thank you Tara. Thank you for a very sensitive presentation. And this story about a wonderful family and their incredible tragedy. And I miss him.<\/p>\n

This is the most poignant, honest, brave and beautiful piece I have ever listened to. I am touched beyond measure. Thank you for airing it. My motherheart is joined to all of yours. Bringing community together through such a tragic event.<\/p>\n

Not just for Hardwick and Greensboro \u2014 Finn! You have reached others across the globe. Your desire to bring people together, from different walks of life will never end. You have done it and will continue to because your Mom was so generous with her grief. Thank you Erica. Thank you Tara for asking Erica. Thank you Rose for pointing out Erica.<\/p>\n

Thank you everyone. Thank you Finn. It was beautiful, gut-wrenching and full of courageous love! My son Symon died by suicide 22 yrs. Thank you Tara and Erica and everyone who put their heart out there to make this.<\/p>\n

This was an extraordinary piece of reporting \u2014 not an easy program to hear but I listened to it twice; it was so beautifully and tenderly delivered. Please, VPR foster her; she is a Vermont treasure. I sat in my dark living room in front of the fire with the white lights of our small Christmas tree twinkling, my eyelids at half-mast, a cat in my lap. Cozy, as Finn would probably have called it.<\/p>\n

I know what I want to do in honor of Finn\u2014make community a verb not a noun as often as I can for the rest of my time here.<\/p>\n

What a gift. My heart goes out to you, Tara. Your loving courage has brought Finn to those of us who never knew him. Looking at the photos, I felt as if I was reunited with an old friend. Mother to mother, you are my hero. My wish for you Tara, is in those dark moments ahead, that you feel all the LOVE and support in these beautiful messages.<\/p>\n

Just precious. Wow thank you for the podcast Finn and the bell. We hung out for a long time. Also, he told me about hunting squirrels with a slingshot and living off the land. I played my guitar for him that day and nobody has ever shown as much support for my playing as much as he did. I was glad I got to know him while I could. It took me two or three tries to get through this one. And never have I heard someone speak into words the mystery of when life leaves us and the energy of life and how our souls linger and long for each other.<\/p>\n

You remind us what matters\u2026. The compassion running through every fiber of this work breaks me open. Early in my grief for losing my partner to suicide, my oldest friend\u2014a writer whose sister had died by suicide a few years before then\u2014brought me a blank notebook.<\/p>\n

You should obviously make more, but seriously, this one takes the freakin cake. Thank you for creating and sharing. Know and love Tara through her Instagram. It was horrible to know about such a great loss, but wonderful thing to share of it the way you did. With sadness and love, from Russia. Many thanks Erica, such a fine piece \u2014 humanity, love, joy, the desolation of losing a person- someone clearly loved by so many- Your audio piece brings all of that \u2014 humanity, love, joy, desolation- close to the heart and mind-.<\/p>\n

Wow, just wow. Deep in my own journey of grief from unexpected losses, this podcast episode is a true gift. This episode also captures the immense beauty that can arise amidst grief in a way that does not discount its heaviness. A huge thank you to everyone who made this episode possible \u2014 and especially to everyone that was so generous in their grief.<\/p>\n

This episode accomplishes so much that simply goes beyond words. What a powerful tribute to a beautiful soul and a beautiful family and community. This is exactly how I feel after listening \u2014 thank you for putting it into words. I will be thinking about the spotlight in the snow for a long, long time. Absolutely gut wrenching but yet hopeful at the same time? I just loved how the northern Vermonters took care of their own. I visited Hardwick in the s with my aunt whose college roommate lived there\u2026They are the salt of the earth people and it was reflected in this piece.<\/p>\n

No one should ever have to go through this. I am hoping I see a spotlight on a snowy night so that I can send a special prayer to the whole community. Well done. This story rocked me. What a beautiful person this community was so lucky to know. Uncannily, I was listening this while getting to know a new town, and came upon the Rio Vista Compassion Garden. Thank you for letting the rest of us get to know Finn, just a little. Thank you for showing me how to be a better community member.<\/p>\n

Vermont has a child fatality review team and I learned about this podcast from one of our members today. I waited until the end of the day to listen to it. My own teenagers, home from school, are in the kitchen together as I write this. The pictures of Finn, especially the one of him in his hat on a cold sunny day, tore me in two.<\/p>\n

Our group often struggles with the staggering sadness of teenage suicides, the unspeakable loss and how to help the community grasp just how often it is occurring in our communities, how common it is for teenagers to have access to firearms and how this horrible thing can happen when they do. Sometimes there are warning signs but often there are not, their brains are still growing and forming and impulsive.<\/p>\n

I do so appreciate the way you told it to us, and showed us the great qualities of one person we lost way too soon. Absolutely beautiful. I wept so hard. This is so incredibly beautifully made. Thank you so much for this beautiful and gut wrenching story.<\/p>\n

The impact of this story and his life will travel great distances. Coming across Rumble Strip is like coming out of a cloud of bad smoke into clear air. Thank you from Windham County for your clear vision, skill and love, particularly in evidence in this program. Thank you so much for Finn and the Bell. It was so heartfelt it really struck a chord with me. We lost our son at the age of 14 when he hanged himself in his bedroom \u2014 he left no note and we will never know why. Other people can help, and indeed helped us get through those terrible first few months.<\/p>\n

Thanks again. I am so sad, so devastated, and yet I am glad to have discovered this episode and to have listened.<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for this beautiful work of art. Thank you for listening Janet and taking the time to write. So glad that I did and thank you, from the bottom of my heart to you for this. And to everyone who loves Finn who took the time and energy to talk about him and the experience of losing him.<\/p>\n

I wish, for you all, good things and peace and joy. I have heard this particular episode not too long ago for research to hear all the Peabody Award nominees for After hearing it, I have to say this: I hope you get this award this year.<\/p>\n

This episode felt emotional to me and it is a story that appeals to me in terms of sympathy. An incredible story told with the most beautiful tones of compassion and the colors of a life well-lived, despite its shortness. It speaks to humanity and grief and courage and the best in our willingness to be. God bless you, Finn. You gave more to your community in a few short years that many give in a lifetime.<\/p>\n

Be at peace. Joy in the ordinary. The simple values that made our country and people great, and to which we long to return. Finn and his community have these and so do you, Erica. Thank you for giving us this moment to reflect and reset. Many times, when listening to your podcasts, I have been struck by your ability to connect to people and your sensitivity in conversations about difficult topics.<\/p>\n

You have a gentle understanding of people, great empathy, and a truly unusual ability to convey the depth of human experiences to your audience. Often it has occurred to me that you rival Terry Gross in these qualities. Your portrayal of the spirit of the Hardwick community was exceptionally perceptive and supportive.<\/p>\n

Suicide is an especially fraught topic to engage with. It evokes a strong voyeuristic impulse in all of us, listeners and journalists alike. Thank you, Erica, for introducing us to Finn \u2014 his family, friends and community. It opens a window for us on the preciousness of life itself, and on how we can care for one another.<\/p>\n

This was a great piece of art and was honored as such with a Peabody. Parents of suicide victims and suicidal kids may benefit greatly from such a discussion. So many parents say: there were no clues. But looking back there were many. I hope that exploration is done here with the same mastery that this story was told.<\/p>\n

But there is a place time and manner to do it. So I pray that happens. Very early on in this process, Tara and I agreed it was not a question we felt comfortable addressing. I think I need that and you can get me there every time. You are special. I got in my car this morning and this episode of my favorite podcast appeared.<\/p>\n

I was hit so hard just to see it, as my own teenage son, also Finn, is struggling with depression, and I have been so afraid to leave him in the mornings, afraid of what he might do, how much lower he might be feeling than I really know. My son even has a dog named Hank and he too is a sensitive sweet combination of masculine and feminine. I was afraid to listen to it, afraid that it would cause me too much fear and pain.<\/p>\n

But it was so courageous and profound that it gave me hope. Tara is a brilliant mother to her kids, in life and in death. Thank you so much for sharing this profound work.<\/p>\n

I just caught the last 10 minutes or so of this story\u2026 I am sitting here in tears.. I feel your anguish.. I hear you questioning yourself. Let the guilt go. You are an amazing Mother. I was bullied as an adult on the job where I worked as a Nurse. I was almost fired! Rumors and lies swirled around me. I was despondent and at one point considered hurting myself. The irony of Nurses hurting their own is not lost on me.<\/p>\n

After 2 devastating years of dark depression I am beginning to see the light. Your story is so important. Thank you for sharing your vulnerability with us. I am getting ready to listen to the whole broadcast. I know if we met, we would be friends.<\/p>\n

Let God give you daily strength. Keep telling his story. Finn did not die in vain. This issue is critical. God bless you richly. It was astonishing.<\/p>\n

Her ability to find words for the images and feelings and thoughts that were coming to her, crashing into her mind and soul \u2014 I am so glad that you were able to capture that Erica. This family sounded lovely and normal and kind and connected. As a mom, it made me feel somewhat powerless and afraid. If a woman with that insight and relationship to her kids could not see it or stop it, how can any of us?<\/p>\n

I am so glad for what Hardwick did for this family, for Finn and for themselves. We are all capable of so much love and compassion. And we are better for having heard this story. Such a beautiful story yet so difficult to listen to. As a parent of someone with depression and thoughts of suicide \u2014 and a resident of Vermont, this felt so close. Too close. Tara, I truly wish you, your family, friends, neighbors and community the very best.<\/p>\n

When I drive through Hardwick from now on, I will think of you all warmly. Hello from California. I just listened to Finn and the Bell on Snap Judgement aired on Thank you for creating and sharing this cathartic story of life. Long love Flynn, fly free. I appreciate the care with which this piece was approached, framed, and edited.<\/p>\n

Grief is Love in disguise. This story of Finn and The Bell, a story of generous grief and generous love, is unifying and still unique. It is transformative and still familiar. It is devastating and still comforting.<\/p>\n

Each he practiced whenever humanly possible. Baseball and fishing taught him that. He confessed that his best memories were with his little brother, spending their summers playing ball in the field and fishing in every bit of water they came across. Finn would introduce himself as a native Vermonter. However, it was the easy way of explaining things. In actuality his native roots were a bit more complicated. By the age of twelve Finn had spent his younger years living many contrasting ways of life.<\/p>\n

He was originally born in the Mission district of San Francisco, and later moved to the suburbs across the Golden Gate. At seven he moved to the farmhouse in Vermont. Before eventually returning to Vt. The effects of all this moving had a very positive effect on him. He graduated Hazen Union a full time member of the Walden Fire department, except he was only able to keep that title a year before enlisting in the military.<\/p>\n

Finn was patriotic with very progressive views. He believed it should never be one or the other. He championed the notion that politics should never keep you from doing what is right. After the service at age 22, he traveled down south to college. He spent four baseball filled years in Mississippi, while attaining degrees in business management and international studies.<\/p>\n

His major league aspirations were not fruitful, but that never hindered his love of the game. Finn had always longed for the family life but never wanted the adventure to end.<\/p>\n

He married a woman who felt the same way entirely. They spent years in love together enjoying life in every way they could. The adventure never ended. Finn started his own business right back home in Vermont. He then bought the farmhouse and raised 4 kids there. When the kids got old and married he helped build them houses right there on the property.<\/p>\n

The kids returned the favor back by helping cut a baseball diamond in the middle of the old neglected hay field. He only asks that whatever you would give normally, you give to a friend that needs it.<\/p>\n
