Maike Mullenders – A Journey to acceptance

Maike’s father died by suicide when she was 21. For the following 30 years she has been not just coming to terms with the impact his death had on her, her mental health and wellbeing, but following a path of acceptance about his death.

This journey to acceptance isn’t to hold guilt or shame herself, but to allow the impact of her life trauma to be contained. By accepting her situation and circumstances and not continually seeking all the answers, Maike has found her way to peace.

Be aware, this conversation on Speaking of Suicide discusses sexual abuse.
