My Friend, Emily Bina, on Losing a Loved one to Suicide

Summary: Before listening, I want to forewarn that this is a triggering episode discussing the loss of a loved one, overall grief, and suicide. I sit down with my close friend, Emily Bina, to have a conversation about losing her brother to suicide. We discuss the complexity & isolation surrounding suicide, her healing process, the shame attached to the word “suicide”, & having the conversation to help break the stigma, & her active use of the word because his life was so much bigger than his death.
