Dealing with Grief #55

TRIGGER WARNING: In this episode, there are conversations about suicide, death and grief. If you are affected by anything you hear, we would advise you to seek professional help. Charleen and Ellie are joined by Emma Smyth and Amanda Dunne for an open and honest conversation about Kevin. Kevin lost his life to suicide in June 2021. Emma was Kevin's girlfriend, and Amanda was his sister. They tell us about Kevin - who he was, his love for his family, and his hard-working nature. They speak about the heartbreak they faced when he passed away, what it is like to cope with the ever-changing dealing of grief, and how they get through each day after a loss to suicide. If you are feeling down or having dark thoughts, Emma and Amanda's advice is to hold on - for another day, for the people that love you, and for yourself, most importantly. When you are at rock bottom, they only way is up and things will get better. Contact Samaritans Ireland, available 24/7 on 116 123
