In this episode Zoe speaks candidly about losing her son Elliot to suicide seven years ago, the unpredictable nature of grief, and how anniversaries and the body can trigger deep responses.

She shares practical pathways that helped her: journaling and sketching, self-publishing a book, EMDR therapy, nature, and learning to trust intuition and small signs from her son.

Zoe offers compassionate advice to listeners - honour your feelings, seek support, care for yourself, and trust that you can carry the grief while staying in the “love lane.”

As always. listen and watch with care and know there are people out there that can help and support you.

In this deeply moving episode, Caroline shares her poignant journey of loss, grief, and healing following the suicide of her husband. Five years on, Caroline sits down with us to recount how she transformed her life from one of heartbreak to a story of hope and resilience.

Caroline opens up about the challenges she faced, from tackling the hardest conversations with her children to finding strength in unexpected places. She discusses the pivotal moments that helped her navigate the toughest days, only to emerge stronger than before, and how honesty with her children helped forge a closer, more understanding family unit.

Her story illustrates the importance of patience, community, and finding solace in simple pleasures and symbols - like the persistent blackbird that became a beacon of hope and healing. Caroline's experience exemplifies that while the path of recovery can be long and arduous, the possibility of finding light and purpose after tragedy is always within reach.
