The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Grief Waves Years After Loss; Different or the Same?


Listen Later

Today I go “down the rabbit hole” to talk about when those 'grief waves' hit me even years (over 5 & 1/2 years) after the loss of my son to suicide. Are they they different now or the same as in the early days?  

I talk about feeling your emotions - I believe it's the best way to
Even later - even forever - it is stil "ok" to cry and scream and miss then with ALL OF YOU ... there is NO F***ING TIMELINE for loving someone. BUT, how do the bad days or grief waves look later?? 
 
Here are a FEW of the 'resources' or suggestions that I offered, oor titles I mentioned, if you are interested:: 

Podcasts- 

  • Coming Back  OR Grief Seeds (both by Shelby Forsythia
  • Not Allowed to Die by Dan Maigler
  • Good Mourning (by Imogen & Sally) 


Movies / Shows - (all are about healing in some fashion but have a hopeful message) 

  • Hope Floats
  • Nights in Rodanthe
  • Chef 
  • Surviving Death a Docuseries (Netflix) 
  • The Starling (Melissa McCarthy)
  • Rabbit Hole (Nicole Kidman)

Come with me “down the rabbit hole” every other week as I share my thoughts on topics surrounding life after suicide. On the other weeks, I release an episode where I have a conversation with a suicide loss survivor or perhaps an expert in a field connected to suicide loss.
