What happens when you lose someone you love to suicide? How do you even begin to process a loss that feels impossible to carry?
In this episode, Heather sits down with Madison Reuter, who opens up about losing her ex-partner, Regis, to suicide after his battle with schizophrenia. Madison shares the raw reality of navigating this kind of grief—what it’s like to lose someone so young, the struggles of suicide loss, and the complicated emotions that come with it. She also offers insight for adults supporting young people through grief, sharing what helped (and didn’t) in her experience.
This is a conversation about love, loss, and grief we don’t talk about enough.
