Mending Piece by Piece The Surviving Siblings Podcast

CONTENT WARNING: Please note that this episode contains depictions and stories of siblings lost by suicide, homicide and/or domestic violence. We understand that some people may find these triggering, activating and/or disturbing.
When Linda's world was shattered not once, but twice, by the loss of her brothers Micheal and Jeff, she embarked on a quest for healing that not only mended her own spirit but reached out to help others in similar pain. Linda's tale is an echo of the shared human experience, where the sting of overdose and suicide’s stigma and the struggle to reconnect with faith intertwine with the raw emotions of grief. As she opens up about the personal battles that followed the loss of her brothers Jeff and Michael, and the family losses and divides that followed.
Turning profound sorrow into a mission to support others, Linda's activism in the world of suicide prevention illuminates the podcast episode with hope. Her work creating resources like "Mending Piece by Piece After A Suicide Loss" and her contributions to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention exemplify the transformative power of storytelling and shared experience. As we wrap up our heartfelt dialogue, we recognize that healing is not a solitary endeavor but a road traveled together, with the strength of community to guide us through the ebb and flow of mourning and onward into the light of new beginnings.
