I this episode we explore emotions with complex deaths—guilt, shame, and emotional isolation. These feelings are often magnified when the loss is stigmatized, such as in cases of suicide. We find ways of creating safe spaces for expression and discuss open communication within families. This conversation encourages listeners to honor the magnitude of their loss and acknowledges the conflicting emotions, including relief, that survivors might experience.

We provide practical coping strategies for those affected by grief with trauma, how to find support and find those you can have honest conversations about death by suicide and mental health. Special attention is also given to families affected by homicide and the complex emotions tied to ongoing court procedures.

For parents, we offer guidance on helping children with grief, advocating for honest communication, and the sharing of information. Join us as we help create a safe environment where both adults and children can express their feelings and find ways to heal.
