    #83 – Grieving Suicide Loss – Casey McBroom, Brave & Co

    This episode features a heartfelt and candid conversation about suicidal ideation, grief, survivor's guilt, and healing. Hosted by Michael Risinger with guest Casey McBroom, a grief and trauma specialist, the discussion offers insights, personal stories, and practical advice for those affected by loss and mental health struggles. We are honored to have Casey McBroom on the show again to this time dive into supporting grief through suicide loss and survivors guilt. This episode might be triggering for those affected by loss of a family member or friend through suicide. We have chosen to not restrict the content of this episode to 18+ only audience. Though this episode is definitely not made for kids (and parents should be aware of that), we believe it might also be helpful to teenagers seeking help with grief recovery. This is a heavy topic and deserves our respect. Please listen accordingly.
