Content Note: This episode includes discussion of suicide. If that’s not something you can hold right now, it’s okay to come back when you’re ready.

When Reshma Kearney lost her husband, Sean, to suicide in 2022, life changed immediately. As a solo parent to three children, she found herself navigating deep grief while also caring for her family. In this conversation, Reshma shares how mindfulness, support, and small daily practices helped her through those early days and continue to help her now.

We explore:

• What surviving suicide loss can feel like from inside the experience
• Supporting children through grief while also trying to care for yourself
• Asking for and receiving help when you're used to being the strong one
• How the language we use around suicide can unintentionally add guilt for surviving loved ones
• Simple, accessible mindfulness practices that helped Reshma take things one day at a time
• Letting joy return slowly, naturally, and without force
  
  

This conversation isn’t about “moving on.” It’s about learning to live with grief while still making space for love, connection, and meaning to grow alongside it.
