Huge LP fan who was devastated after learning about Chester’s death. Literally cried multiple times. The episode with Talinda was great to hear and I’m so grateful for the work she is doing. ❤️❤️ R. I. P. Chester.

I’m so thankful to find this podcast. Each episode has something meaningful and valuable. I lost my husband to suicide Aug 29 2023 and we had been divorced since March. He struggled with alcoholism for many years and it certainly affected his mental health over those years. He succumbed to the Disease and left a great hole in my family’s hearts. I was able to share different episodes with different friends and family members as i felt would be Relatable to them and it’s been helpful. I was aware of Dr Jennifer’s loss so happening upon this podcast was a blessing. It’s heavy material but it doesn’t feel heavy when listening to all of these guest share their experiences and Hope… I Hope others in need find it too❤️🙏🏽

This podcast has helped my partner and I get through the first week of grieving the loss of his father to suicide. Helpful voices and experiences.

Thank you for reminding me how not alone I am, my dad took his own life in Dec of 2018 when I was just 19 years old. For years I’ve been trying to navigate these emotions, and have always felt so lonely. From the bottom of my heart thank you for the comfort this season provided me. I truly cannot wait for season 2. Sending love & light to anyone who can relate 🤍

Today is Mother’s Day 2022. I went to the mountains of North Carolina to be alone with my grief and think about my son, Coble, who at died by suicide 3 weeks prior to his 16th birthday, 10/10/21. I have trouble finding many podcasts that address grief of the loss of a loved one by suicide. Your daughter, Chloe, was so articulate and genuine. What a terrible tragedy she faced at such a young age and what courage she has to share her story and help others. I am grateful to have the opportunity to learn from her today and I know she will continue her life doing amazing things. We must break the stigma about mental health. I am doing what I can and want to do more. Suicide is not a choice. My husband, a child psychologist in Charlotte NC, and I are getting together a group of community partners in two weeks- pediatricians, psychologists, clergy, etc. So many people are struggling. Please let me know if you see a way we can help you in any endeavors. Jennifer Ishee

I just found your podcast today- May 5, 2022. I’m 51 and was 50 when my mother died by suicide July 19, 2021. It’s still an incredible wave of emotion. I’ve only list n e to the first episode and the biggest take away is “their suicide is not about you” and when Melissa made the point to not stay in/live in the “what if’s”.

My boyfriend/fiancé killed himself after a long battle with opioids in June of 2021. I listened to these on my way to work. Helped me realize I was not alone with the questions of why and the hurt it brings. PLEASE make more of these.

Thanks for this podcast. I just lost two daughters. My 20 year old lost her life to suicide last month. We are of course devastated, confused, angry, ashamed, you name it. Now I have lost another daughter because she blames me for the suicide and doesn’t want to have anything to do with me. I thought I was a good mother but I am now so sad that she feels this way. Perhaps she is hurting and this is the way she deals with it but right now I am so sad...

My recent ex of 7 years died by suicide on 2/26. I’m struggling. I learned so much . Thank you for talking about this.

Thank you for talking about this subject! It is the worst “club” to belong to, but so necessary to discuss and help each other to heal. I lost my daughter near the end of 2019, days before her 19th birthday. My wish is to find ways to move forward in life; first by looking for ways to help all who are touched by this illness, and secondly by finding ways to honor the beautiful person she was. It hurts so much that my deeply caring daughter, who fought for the underdogs In life, lost the battle for her own life.
