About this episode

In this episode, we talk about how to deal with blame. Sometimes people can blame someone else for a person’s death or attribute someone’s suicide to a particular life event or single issue. But the cause of someone’s suicide is not usually a single thing or event and is far more complex. It is also unfair to blame someone, even if it is the person who has died.
