The Healing Narratives of Suicide Grief - Rebuilding A Marriage
Kellie lost her son, Chris, to suicide 2 years ago. Kellie had adopted Chris when he was 3 years old and at 22 years of age, he took his own life after struggles with addiction.
Kellie’s story has many layers and her honesty and bravery come forward in her words.
Hear how:
Kellie and her husband had very different grief reactions.
the couple divided but then came back together again by establishing new boundaries.
they created a platform for helping others which gave them both hope for the future.
Kellie felt that her family foundations were “falling apart” and had to be rebuilt.
Kellie is continuing her bonds with Chris by publishing a book, Mount Hope, which she calls a “love letter for the LGBTQI community.”
Kellie felt she was ripped apart and had to hit the depths in order to rebuild who she was.
Kellie won $75,000 not long after Chris died and how that impacted her journey.
faith was a vital part of her healing.
Mount Hope is available on Amazon and is a book about faith, sexuality and in the final chapter, Chris shows readers that suicide is not a sin in the religious context.
Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
