Suicide loss changes everything. This show is about life after suicide —real talk and practical support for grief after suicide : parents, partners, siblings, and friends finding their footing again. Each week, we explore what helps in suicide bereavement so you can keep going with honesty and hope. Hosted by Melissa Bottorff-Arey , whose 21-year-old son, Alex, died by suicide in 2016, the podcast blends intimate conversations with survivors, healers, and mental health experts with short solo 'Daily Nugget' episodes you can actually use. We cover child loss , trauma and nervous-system care, anniversaries and seasons, stigma, faith and meaning, legacy, and the everyday practices that make life livable again. You'll hear grounded tools, language that honors your person, and the reminder that you are not broken—you are grieving. For supporters and educators, these episodes offer insight into the realities of suicide grief and what genuine, non-fixing support looks like.
