Wow Laura. This was an excellent and meaningful read.
This resonates and also reminds me that we all have our own unique experiences too.
In the UK suicide has not been mentioned once in my normal life. It’s only through specialist online support groups that I’ve found space for this part of my life. This part is tough.
My book that I’m editing is called I See You, a mother’s story of whole family trauma healing after loss by suicide. ‘I See You’ as a gift to myself. I strongly feel that we all deserve and need to feel fully seen. Another layer of trauma is experienced without it.
Our bereavements by suicide are a catalyst for me to address intergenerational trauma. That’s why my title includes ‘whole’ family as I don’t only facilitate my children’s grief recovery and my own but also trauma through the mother line. This is massive. Too big really. I can only approach it through writing.
My son is very interested in psychedelics and it’s interesting to read about your experience with mushrooms. Dr Gabor Maté talks a lot about this doesn’t he.
Anyway I’ll look forward to reading more of your work. I’m so pleased to connect.
Wow, thank you for such a beautiful message. It means so much and I truly feel seen. I’m disappointed that there’s not more discussion of this in the UK but you’ve got a home in the states if you need it. I’m a big believer in the therapeutic power of mushrooms. Feel free to message me with questions. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Laura, this was so raw and moving. Thank you for sharing your experience. I spent the last few years working in the not-for-profit sector focussing on mental health and suicide prevention - it's such a complex subject riddled with stigma and we need to change the narrative. We need more people like you to talk openly about the ripple effect suicide has on families and communities. And it goes without saying that we need to do more to prevent suicide - we'll never have all the answers because it's so complex and personal, but my gosh there's so much we CAN do 🤍
