#30 - I Did the Best I Could
The Healing Narratives of Suicide Loss
03/28/22 • 55 min
This is Sara’s story of losing her son, Billy, to suicide in 2019. Sara trained to be a counsellor 20 years ago and found it helpful in staying strong and calm whilst caring for Billy during a long period of mental health difficulties shrouded by drug misuse.
Sarah is passionate about talking about Billy and the discrimination he faced and her need to support him 24/7. Since Billy’s death, Sara has become an advocate for raising awareness about the often ignored condition of Bipolar whilst seeking justice for Billy.
In her story, Sara challenges and explains why some views of supporting suicidal people may not always be helpful and how cold water swimming has helped her cope with the confusing emotions she can often feel.
This is a story of courage and justice.

#20 - Becoming an Orphan as an Adult
The Healing Narratives of Suicide Loss
08/29/21 • 35 min
Sasha’s Mum died in an accident 8 years ago when Sasha was 29. She then lost her Dad to suicide almost 3 years ago and that changed the trajectory of her grief.
Sasha felt that her mum’s death was going to prepare her for her Father’s death but she was surprised at the different layers that came and had to learn how to manoeuvre through the waves of grief again.
We discuss:
- the differences between suicide loss and other losses
- what it was like for Sasha becoming an orphan as an adult
- Sasha’s confusion around her dad's death and how she had to break through that in order to process the rest of her grief
- what it felt like for our families to shrink so quickly
- how Sasha changed the trajectory of her career and is living a more meaningful life
A very real, daughter’s story.
