S3E59: Breaking Silence: Courageous Conversations on Suicide Prevention

The weight of grief can feel suffocating, each breath an arduous battle as the darkness threatens to extinguish your inner light forever. For survivors of suicide loss, that sense of being trapped in shadow's grip is all too familiar – a waking nightmare where hope seems an impossible dream.

But what if the faintest flicker still burns within?

This powerful conversation follows Lisa's courageous journey through the anguish of losing her father to suicide not once, but twice. At 10 years old, she grieved his supposed death from heart failure, only to have the truth about his suicide slowly unveiled decades later. Despite being shattered by this second wave of trauma, Lisa's resilience shines through as she shares her path to reclaiming her voice as a mental health advocate and crisis counselor.

Through vulnerability and hard-won wisdom, you'll gain insight into:

• Channeling emotions through creative outlets like journaling to process the unimaginable
• The solace of surrounding yourself with a compassionate community to bear witness
• Meeting yourself with kindness in the rawness of your pain, not rushing the healing
• How boldly choosing to face your fears can be an empowering act of reclaiming agency
• Maintaining faith that light awaits, even when the way forward remains shrouded
