In this deeply moving episode of Life With Grief, I sit down with Reshma Kearny, a widow, mother, and fierce advocate for mental health, as she bravely shares the heartbreaking story of losing her husband, Sean, to suicide.

Reshma opens up about Sean’s battle with depression, the shock and devastation of his death, and the complicated, often isolating journey of grief that followed. Together, we explore what it means to navigate suicide loss while parenting young children, and the emotional toll of trying to stay afloat when your world has been turned upside down.

She shares how mindfulness, self-compassion, and radical honesty became lifelines—not only for her, but for her children, too. Reshma’s vulnerability is raw and powerful, reminding us of the importance of breaking the stigma around mental health and finding healing in even the smallest moments.

Whether you’ve experienced suicide loss, are supporting someone who has, or are simply navigating life after loss of any kind, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, understood, and a little less alone.
