Tracy lost her teenage daughter, Chelsie, to suicide 15 years ago and brings bucket-loads of wisdom to this episode.
Tracy shares many things: from how it felt parenting her son through his emotional difficulties to common issues found after suicide loss like the relationship fractures, stigma, shame and physical pain she experienced.
We also discuss word choices around suicide, the lack of support available for suicide-loss survivors and how we feel people can best support us.
Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
