“The episode with Chloe and Sue your therapist was very helpful. Comparing suicide with other life threatening diseases is helpful but so much needs to be done to help our loved ones get through the ‘disease’ alive.
Thank you for this podcast. It’s hard to hear done stories but as you’ve...”Read full review »

“Good but episode 2 erks me when the therapist comes and speaks on. What if suicide is from a chronic disease or terminal condition how is that not a fact? Suicide is not just mental illness. It can be from hopelessness of chronic pain or illness not a chemical imbalance.”

“This podcast was specifically supposed to be about surviving the loss of a loved one to suicide. After 3 episodes, it went far off course and I have no idea what it’s about now. I fear this podcast was only a vehicle for the host to sell her book based on the loss of her ex-husband.”

“Hi
Will you consider having guest and stories with lower middle class people who can’t afford the mental space to grieve or feel their feelings much less afford counseling because one mis step can turn their financial boat over & everyone goes down.
