Big life change 💛 After losing my brother to su Big life change 💛 After losing my brother to suicide, supporting my suicidal son for 10 years, raising 3 more kids through grief, and losing my mum too soon… I’m finally choosing me. In 6 days, I’m handing back the keys to my house, clearing my house of EVERYTHING and stepping into the unknown - living in a van, pet-sitting, or staying with family. Surrendering to what my higher-self needs, one day at a time. Is it scary? Yes. Is it freeing? Absolutely yes. Come with me - I’m sharing it all. Not because I have the answers, but because I believe there is life after loss. More in the blog soon 💻✨ As always, Stronger Together ❤️ 🙏❤️ Sue And yes I recorded this yesterday but it took me a day to pluck up the courage to post it... and 2 hours to edit it! So i now only actually have 5 days left in a permanent home 🏡

If you are parenting children through suicide grie If you are parenting children through suicide grief, this is the podcast episode for you. 💔💛 In this deeply moving episode, Caroline shares her journey of losing her husband to suicide - and what it’s been like raising her children through this awful grief. Five years on, she reflects on the raw, honest conversations she had with her children, the moments that nearly broke her, and the surprising strength they found in simple things… like a little blackbird that became a symbol of hope. This is a story of heartbreak, yes - but also one of resilience, connection, and deep healing. Caroline’s wisdom is a powerful reminder that even in the darkest moments, healing is possible. 🎧 Listen with care. You’re not alone and we hold the hope for you wherever you are in your journey. Strong Together ❤️🙏❤️
Time passes but your body still remembers the shoc Time passes but your body still remembers the shock. The moment everything changed. Even years later, you may still be in survival mode. That doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means your nervous system is still protecting you. You are not alone. You are not beyond repair. You just need support that speaks the language of your body, not just your mind. I'm excited to share a new journey of blogging: ✨ The Suicide Grief Healing Blog ✨ A trauma-informed space for survivors of suicide loss. Grounded in nervous system science, EMDR, Polyvagal Theory and somatic grief support. New Blog: “Why Your Nervous System Is Still in Shock After Suicide Loss” Learn why time alone doesn’t heal trauma - and what your body needs instead. 📚 Read the full post now at: www.suicidegriefsupport.com/blog or click the link in bio. Stronger Together ❤️ 🙏❤️
We’ve been taught to treat grief and trauma li We’ve been taught to treat grief and trauma like they’re the same thing - but they aren’t. Grief is a natural, sacred response to loss. It aches, moves, contracts, and expands with time. Trauma is what happens when something overwhelms your ability to cope or feel safe in your own body. In suicide loss, they often arrive together - but they need different kinds of care. 💬 Grief responds to connection, ritual, and being witnessed without judgment. 🛟 Trauma heals through safety, regulation, and repairing what felt broken inside. We need to understand the difference - and give each one the healing it deserves. It can be hard to tell where grief ends and trauma begins. If you’re not sure, talk to a professional who can help you untangle both — and begin to heal them in their own right. 💛 As always, Stronger Together ❤️ 🙏❤️
Children don’t always cry. Teens don’t always Children don’t always cry. Teens don’t always talk. Grief after suicide shows up in silence, outbursts, clinginess, rebellion — or a smile that seems a little too forced. When someone dies by suicide, kids don’t just grieve the person — they grieve the confusion, the fear, and the rupture of what felt safe. You might see: ✨ Your child regressing — needing more cuddles, refusing bedtime, fearing separation. ✨ Your teen becoming distant, angry, or suddenly “fine.” ✨ Physical symptoms like stomach aches, sleep changes, or anxiety spikes. They often don’t have the words, but their behaviour is communication. You can’t protect them from the pain, but you can be a safe place for it to land. Start small: notice their cues, slow your pace, and offer presence over answers. You’re not failing if they’re struggling — you’re parenting through pain. You're doing the best you can. And you're not alone in it. Comment to help others- what signs you have seen in your children and how you have coped.  Stronger Together ❤️🙏❤️ #SuicideGrief #ParentingThroughGrief #ChildGriefSupport #TeenGrief #EMDRGriefHealing #SuicideLossSupport #TraumaInformedParenting  Dr Sue Egan PsyD, MBPsS Counselling Psychologist EMDR Therapist Traumatic Grief Specialist www.sueeganpsychology.com www.suicidegriefsupport.com   Sue Egan Psychology is unable to provide a Crisis Response service. If you have urgent well-being concerns please contact your GP, GP out of hours service, NHS 111 or  999, or attend A&E as a last resort.
