#15 - I am proud of who I am now

Hannah, 25 years old, lost her mum to suicide.

In 45 minutes we hear the immense journey she has been on during the past year - being impacted by huge feelings of shock, anger, confusion, pain and pride, which has led to periods of avoidance, transparency, purpose and living a life of meaning.

Hear how Hannah began to reduce the negative thoughts and feelings once she started to accept that her mum had made the decision she had and realised that life, and who she is as a person, will never be the same again.

Through using social media to share her grief in an open, safe way, Hannah has now developed an IG community where she supports others grieving and has become an ambassador for Suicideandco.

A story which shows what a huge impact losing a mother to suicide can have on a daughter’s life.
