About this episode

In this episode we talk more about how you can support a person who has lost someone to suicide. If you haven’t yet listened to the previous episode (Episode 11), you should go back and listen to that first, otherwise you’ll miss part one of this conversation.

If you are supporting a person who has lost someone to suicide, it can be helpful to understand more about suicide and how it is different from other causes of death and what that means for the person grieving.
