People who have lost someone to suicide struggle with the abandonment that happens to them by family and friends. Mostly it’s because those people don’t know what to say. They want to fix it and make their loved one feel better but ultimately they shy away because it isn’t fixable. Join us in this episode where I’ll talk about my own experience with this and ideas of why it happens and how we can educate others to stop doing it.
