The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

Life After Suicide Loss of a Child; The 3 Universal Needs Moms Share


Listen Later

Today I go "down the rabbit hole" to discuss a topic near and dear to my heart. As a mom who lost a child by suicide myself, I have become increasingly aware that while we moms definitely have some different needs we do seem to share 3 common ones. We need: 

  • Resources - at the time of loss & beyond to help us find all of the places for help, healing & information 
  • Community - a place to connect, grieve & grow with other moms who understand our loss (& by proxy, understand us)
  • Legacy - the need to find ways to ensure our child is remembered, that their life mattered.

I explore this topic today and you can find answers to many of these needs within the Leftover Pieces community -- on my website the leftoverpieces.com

It is my hearts mission to provide ways through this to other suicide loss survivors & I am always looking for new ways to do just that. Ultimately, I have discovered that t
his is not easy, but you do not have to be alone!
