The Healing Narratives of Suicide Grief - I Did the Best I Could
This is Sara’s story of losing her son, Billy, to suicide in 2019. Sara trained to be a counsellor 20 years ago and found it helpful in staying strong and calm whilst caring for Billy during a long period of mental health difficulties shrouded by drug misuse.
Sarah is passionate about talking about Billy and the discrimination he faced and her need to support him 24/7. Since Billy’s death, Sara has become an advocate for raising awareness about the often ignored condition of Bipolar whilst seeking justice for Billy.
In her story, Sara challenges and explains why some views of supporting suicidal people may not always be helpful and how cold water swimming has helped her cope with the confusing emotions she can often feel.
This is a story of courage and justice.
Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
