Grief In Common - Winston's Wish

Dad’s suicide – open mother-daughter conversations | S2 06


Listen Later

Is suicide a different type of grief? Maya returns to the podcast with her mum, Faye, to talk about their experiences of her dad taking his own life when she was 5. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground. The conversation covers how Winston’s Wish helped Faye tell Maya and her brother, balancing grieving and bringing up twins, and how they found ways to still include Dad in their daily lives.
