Have you ever wondered how to navigate the painful journey of grief and loss following suicide? Join me, Karen Hall, as I sit down with the courageous Lark Dean Galley, who vulnerably opens up about her personal experiences with the tragedies of suicide. Lark shares her reflections on a turbulent childhood marked by her father's undiagnosed bipolar depression and his subsequent suicide, and the devastating loss of her own son four years later.

Throughout our deeply personal conversation, Lark reveals the immense stigma and shame associated with suicide and how it has impacted her family’s journey to emotional recovery. We delve into the complexities of grief, highlighting how it can differ greatly between genders. Lark shares her personal healing process, offering valuable insights on shedding blame and offering grace to those affected by suicide. She also shares her moving thoughts on maintaining a connection with loved ones even after they've departed from this world.

Stay tuned for Part 2 in which Lark further discusses her unstable childhood, her struggles with infertility and divorce, and the challenges of managing a blended family. She shares how these adversities have carved her path to becoming a fervent advocate for suicide prevention. A testament to her strength and resilience, this episode serves as a beacon of hope for those whose lives have been impacted by suicide. Listen in to this profound conversation with Lark Dean Galley and find hope amidst the pain.
