LOCAL JUNEAU EMPIRE When Ron King's son died in 1993, he asked people to donate to a scholarship fund through the Juneau School District instead of giving flowers. But district officials said no because Corey King, 16, had killed himself.

Parents find ways to cope with grief

Speaking out: Ron King lost one of his four sons to suicide in 1993. When he asked to set up a scholarship fund in his son's name, he said school administrators told him no because it would glorify suicide. He now helps other parents as a grief group volunteer, sharing his experiences in an effort to help people talk about suicide.
