Cindy lost her 19 year old son, Andrew, the youngest of her 5 children, to suicide 4 years ago.
Cindy speaks openly and honestly about how being a mum defines who she is and, since losing Andrew, how she has managed the physical and emotional manifestation of grief.
Part of Cindy’s journey has been to start a charity – the Aslan foundation – in order to support others with teenagers struggling with their mental health.
Cindy’s story is both moving and heartfelt – showing us how a mother’s love endures through everything and how Andrew will forever live on in her.
Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
