Todays’ episode is the last of our four part series during May, focusing on Mental Health Awareness. Martha shares her deeply personal journey through grief and mental health following her father's suicide. She reflects on her teenage years, the impact of family dynamics, and the challenges of navigating her emotions during that time. We discuss the importance of seeking help, the complexities of coping with loss, and how Martha’s experiences have shaped her understanding of mental health and resilience.
Share: A passage from the book: The Frozen River
"We are in the twilight years of a long love affair, and it has recently occurred to me that a day will come when one of us buries the other. But, I remind myself, that is the happy ending to a story like ours. It is a vow made and kept. Till death do us part. It is the only acceptable outcome to a long and happy marriage, and I am determined not to fear that day, whenever it arrives. I am equally determined to soak up all the days between."
