The Grieving Mother

 



THE GRIEVING MOTHER /  SHOW NOTES
What happens when you get the worst call of your life? The worst call imaginable for any parent? What do you do? How do you cope?
Today Jay shares her story of losing her precious son Jaike to suicide.
You will hear how brave she is, how much she loves talking about her boy and you will also hear the whole way through, how cathartic but also how hard it is for her to speak about these moments. How her life is forever fractured and will never be the same without him.
Content warning: this episode discusses suicide, domestic violence, depression and miscarriage. Help services are listed below.
