The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations

What to Say; What Not to Say (TO Suicide Loss Grievers or AS a Griever in Response)


Listen Later

SUCH a complicated topic... BUT it comes up ALL of the time in conversations with other suicide loss grievers. People say all sorts of things to grievers - especially about suicide loss.

THIS IS HARD. Right?

How would we respond to someone in our position before we know what we do now? I know that's asking a lot to have you think about that BUT I do it because ultimately I want us all to have great support from the people that love us - and yes, sometimes they say the wrong thing. (and sometimes they are the wrong people) ? Remember to first care for yourself and your mental wellness, but then when you can, give some grace to the ones that DO come forward and at least see us - because so many do not.

Today I cover - 

  • The top 9 most common things that myself and fellow grievers hear - not only in the early days but ongoing. 
  • How we can respond while creating less stress and anxiety for ourselves
  • How sometimes we can bring awareness and teach
  • How to go about knowing how to respond to these situations for yourself
  • Plus some news about a 2023 Moms Grief retreat in Mexico and more. ..
