Let's Talk About Grief With Anne

Grief is messy. It's the opposite of linear. It can be dark and wacky, lonely or not, love-filled or seemingly lacking - but it is so very alive. No two people experience this process in quite the same way. These episodes are conversation starters for dealing with dying, death, and grief, part therapy and part storytelling in disguise. They'll shine a light, giving you hope and understanding of how others have managed their grief. Also, they are an insightful guide to life's many losses. You don't have to struggle alone?

Welcome to our podcast, dear listeners. I'm Anne, your host. And today, we have a really thought-provoking topic to delve into - suicide. And I'm privileged to have Lisa Sugarman as our guest. Lisa is an incredible parenting author, a syndicated columnist, and a survivor herself of suicide loss. Lisa is also a crisis counselor with the Trevor Project.

We recognize that suicide, unfortunately, is a tragic occurrence that can leave us feeling bewildered and grappling for the answers that question why seems almost impossible to comprehend and leaves families with lasting trauma and torment. In their grief, families may even harbor a sense of responsibility, believing they could have somehow prevented it. To shed some light on this distressing subject and gain, as I mentioned, a deeper understanding of the increasing rates of suicide, I now turn to our esteemed guest, Lisa.

Here's what we talk about:

Lisa's experience when discovering the truth about her father's death.
What factors contribute to the increasing number of children experiencing suicidal thoughts?
Changing the stigma about suicide is crucial!
What is the primary purpose of a lifeline, and how does it serve individuals in crisis?
And much more!
