Understand Suicide

Ep. 107 - He is a murder-suicide loss survivor | Michael


Listen Later

My guest today, Michael, is a murder-suicide survivor. Nine years ago, his wife took the life of their two daughters, Kennedy, 13, and Bella, 6 years old. Then, she took her own life.

In this interview, Michael talks for the first time about his experience, the impact it had on his life, how he dealt with suicidal thoughts after his losses, and what helped him stay alive.

Trigger warning: This episode deals with a very sensitive topic, so please, if you find that it can be triggering to you, don’t listen to it or break it in parts. I want to make sure that the overall message is heard and his message is about healing and helping others navigate this kind of loss. So please, pay attention to your body and follow what it is saying to you.
