Listen to the last episode:
This episode was created at the request of my listeners. Unfortunately, the topic of blame and self-blame are ubiquitous in suicide, and it is particularly directed at the immediate family and spouses. They are victims of this in many ways. Sometimes, it comes disguised in the tone of voice of family and friends when they say things like “but you didn’t see it coming?” or “I told you he/she needed to see a doctor.” Self-blame may or not be present, but it lingers when it is.
It took me a while to find the “perfect” guest to talk about blame, but I did and I am so fortunate that he said yes to the podcast. Dr. Jack Jordan is a Clinical Psychologist in Pawtucket/RI, USA; he has spent decades treating grieving families and has written extensively on the topic of suicide loss. He took a few hours off his well-deserved retirement to talk to us, so thank you again, Dr. Jordan.
His interview was deep and compassionate, one that I will always keep in my heart. I hope it brings comfort to those in need.
If you want to support my work, buy me a coffee. This will help me keep bringing hope to those touched by suicide: https://bit.ly/3whorPH
