In this heart-wrenching episode of our podcast, we explore the painful topic of losing a loved one to suicide. Our guest, Seamus Waites, bravely shares his personal experience of losing his son to suicide at the young age of 21 and the devastating impact it had on him and his family.

This episode is a raw and emotional conversation that sheds light on a difficult topic. It's an essential listen for anyone who has been impacted by suicide or wants to better understand how to support those who are struggling with mental health issues.

We hope this episode will provide valuable insights into the mental health challenges that lead to suicide and offer practical advice on how to support those who are struggling with their mental health.
