Ep 22: Support and Connecting with Others - SOBS talk with Sarah Bushby

TW: We are discussing themes of suicide throughout this episode.

If you're feeling suicidal please reach out to the Samaritans at: https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/

or call 116 123

Folks, today we discuss bereavement by suicide. We discuss how it affects the family and how SOBS, an amazing supportive charity, helps people keep those support circles in their lives through one of the toughest times anyone can go through.

Thank you so much Sarah, for not only volunteering and working towards creating a network of over 90 face to face meeting across the UK for survivors of bereavement by suicide, but for sharing your own story with us today.

Sarah talks of the anonimity of the meetings, the weight being lifted as you realise everyone shares these feelings you might be feeling, and the connections you form to other people in a moment that may be very isolated.

'you hear the different stories and you hear a bit of your own story in theirs'

Folks, together, we can truly make a difference.
