The Healing Narratives of Suicide Grief - Becoming My Own Best Friend
Andrea lost her friend, Chris, to suicide 8 years ago. Chris had bipolar and Andrea and her family had supported him through his highs and lows.
In this episode hear how:
Andrea coped with telling her young children and how they have processed it since,
she hid herself from the anger (towards herself and Chris) and then managed to process it – basically how she processed the conflict of “you caused us this pain” and “it wasn’t your fault,”
Andrea’s physiotherapy career has taken a turn since realising humans are emotional and physical beings,
Andrea handled the guilt of thinking she could have saved Chris,
different therapies have helped her,
Andrea handled the internal argument between her body, heart and mind.
Andrea has found self-compassion using art.
Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
