Kate had immigrated to New Zealand with her husband and 2 teenage children when her husband took his own life.

Richard was a medical professional, as Kate is, and although his depression had led to disordered thinking and behaviour, his suicide was a huge shock to everyone.

Kate felt a huge amount of guilt from her identity as a medical professional but found strength to move back to the UK and made peace, as much as she can, with what has happened.

A story of true strength in the face of a mother and medical professional’s extreme pain and loss.
