Michelle – Both parents died of cancer three months apart

How can a ten year old kid even begin to deal with the death of both of her parents? Perth woman Michelle was eight when her Mum was diagnosed with Melanoma that had turned into a brain tumour. Six months later, her Dad was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Two years later, they were both dead. 

Michelle and her brother went to live with their godparents but it was not an easy ride. From acting out, an incorrect ADHD diagnosis, anti-depressant medication at eleven years old and bullying at school, listen to hear out how Michelle finally overcame her turbulent childhood and rebuilt a family of her own.

Mel is a Doctor of International Law who specialises in genocide studies. She has spent a lot of time in the field visiting significant sites of conflict and war museums, as well as interviewing survivors and their families. 

But as you can imagine, the subject matter takes its toll. Listening to the horrifying things people do to each other, as well as the isolation of long solo trips to places like Armenia, Bosnia and Cambodia have proven challenging.

Listen to Mel talk about the support networks that make it possible to keep going with the work, the passion that fuels her research and the book she is working on that seeks to reveal the patterns of behaviour that precede genocide events.

Melissa and Peter’s son, Jordan, was 18 years old and an apprentice carpenter when he attended his first work Christmas party. Later that night, he decided to get in the car and drive back to the Gold Coast to visit his mates. He was 2.5 times over the limit and he hit a stationary car and killed its four occupants. 

Melissa and Peter share the story of the aftermath of the accident, including the grief, guilt, sense of responsibility and overwhelming motivation to share their story in the hope that they will save young lives.

Mark was on a client call when his daughter’s mother kept calling. And calling. And calling. It was unusual so he cut his work call short and called her back, only to discover that his 10 year old daughter, Mina, was in an ambulance on the way to hospital. 

Mina had suffered a brain haemorrhage and had lost one third of the functioning of her right brain hemisphere. Her left side had lost feeling and mobility.

This was the beginning of a 2.5 year battle to help Mina regain her independence, while also questioning the medical establishment’s normal procedures around rehabilitation.

Mark shares how he got through it, as well as the emotional fall-out that occurs when the crisis is over.

Keith knows more than anyone what it’s like to run towards trouble. During his time as an undercover police officer, he dealt with some of Australia’s most violent criminals, drug lords and crooked cops. He is also one of the most highly decorated police officers to have ever come out of the Qld police force and has dealt with his fair share of trauma – his own and other people’s – resulting in undiagnosed PTSD. 

Keith shares some of the stories from his career, as well as the ways he came to terms with those incidents, the power of martial arts, the healing power of the writing process and the moment he finally forgave himself.
