The Healing Narratives of Suicide Grief - Fighting For Myself
In episode 30, Sara shared how it was losing her son, Billy, to suicide almost 3 years ago. This episode is Keelie’s story - Keelie is Billy’s sister.
Keelie shares what it was like from the perspective of being his older ‘protective’ sister and how difficult it was coping with Billy’s mental health difficulties.
We discuss how:
hard it was grieving with very young children.
Keelie was inspired to start a running group, which helped her find herself and cope with the loss.
all-consuming Billy’s illness was for the whole family.
Keelie’s family made the decision to live a life worth living.
resilient she has become.
it has affected every area of her life.
Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
