Sensitive Content… Listen to this episode with care. Our guest is very honest about her mental health and suicide attempt - great to raise awareness and in order to help those left behind by suicide but may touch of some of your pain.

Sharon from @Sixty.Ninth.Street.Suicide attempted suicide over 4 years ago and has written a book in order to support suicide loss survivors. By defining her ‘why,’ Sharon hopes others can make meaning of any guilt or shame they may feel after the suicide of a loved one.

Hear how the long trajectory towards suicide, which started when Sharon was a teenager, made her hide her depression and feel that suicide was the only option she had left.

Hear how depression affected Sharon and how getting professional support after her suicide attempt, has helped her learn that she is not her thoughts – but is in charge of her own life.

Please listen with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.
