Episode 43

Georgia Bland – haunted by loss

"He'd come into the kitchen, obviously, to eat his lunch, and something in his head thought, nah, like, just do it now"

Key takeaways from this podcast

  1. There are some risk factors that can lead to suicidal thoughts which can be identified
  2. Suicide is nobody's fault, there is no blame linked to suicide.

There isn’t a day that goes by that Georgia doesn’t think about her brother Callum and his profoundly shocking choice to take his own life in what seemed like a spur of the moment decision. Nothing had prepared Georgia for suicide and the impact it has had on her life is heartbreaking. An incredibly raw, challenging and emotional listen which brings into sharp relief just how painful suicide is for the loved ones it leaves behind.
