In this episode of The Suicide Prevention Lady Podcast, Dr. Rikki Turner sits down with grief therapist and author Roshonda Guest for a powerful, honest conversation about what it really looks like to support someone after a suicide loss.
Together, they unpack the messy, nonlinear reality of grief, the damage caused by silence and judgment, and the healing power of simply showing up. Whether you’ve lost someone or love someone who has, this episode is filled with practical advice and compassionate truth.
We cover:
What to say (and what not to say) to someone grieving a suicide
How grief affects the body, not just the heart
Why “doing nothing” can feel like abandonment
How to honor someone’s life without erasing the pain
