Suicide and Its Aftermath

Season 3 Episode 12 | 21m 44s

We unravel the complex emotional impact of suicide on those left behind.

Kristen Pekarske’s best friend threatened suicide, but she believed it was just another empty threat. Two years later, she struggles with having chosen not to intercede. With Pekarske and a counsellor from Hospice Humboldt, we discuss the guilt associated with suicide, and how grief transforms people’s lives. Also, we talk about what people can do when confronting a person considering suicide.
