Caroline Roodhouse - surviving and thriving after loss by suicide
“We’ve found him. He’s not alive. And it’s clear he has done it to himself” were the 15 words that would change Caroline Roodhouse’s life beyond imagination.
Key takeaways from this podcast
- The value of friends at a time of crisis - none of us can do this alone
- The importance of compassion and kindness in supporting someone through grief
- That healing is possible through trust, love and community
But from the darkness of losing her husband to suicide Caroline has evolved from being a victim of loss by suicide to a survivor, and in her own words even a thriver because of it. Caroline talks very opening about how she had to find a way through for her and her two daughters. She is honest, raw and very frank about the pathway she took, the wrong turns and right turns. This is ultimately an episode of hope, of strength in community and rebuilding yourself and your family after losing a loved one to suicide.
