“I lost my dad to suicide last year and have been picking up the pieces of his loss ever since. I was responsible for all of his affairs when he died. I’ve felt pretty alone ever since when I think about my dad and what I’ve been through. Like I’m barely keeping my head above water. Even talking to a therapist is kind of routine because I don’t feel like she knows the capacity in which a heart can break. When this podcast popped up on my suggestions this morning I didn’t think it would touch me the way it has. To hear how there are other women who have lost their dads this way and lived to tell the tale had me crying to and from work. Relief crying. It felt like someone finally GETS me. I thought, “I’m finally not the only person who feels this way.” I can’t thank you enough for this podcast Dr. Ashton. It’s unfortunate for the both of us how my path crossed with this podcast and you’re path created it all due to our similar tragic losses. But I am incredibly grateful to what you’re sharing with the world. I’m incredibly grateful to you for helping me feel not alone.”
