Episode 13: Surviving Someone Else’s Suicide

What happens after the phone call no one ever expects? In this episode of Dead Inside & Board Certified, we sit down with someone who lost a loved one to suicide and speak honestly about the reality of surviving that kind of grief. We discuss the silence that can exist before suicide, the warning signs people wish they had seen, and the painful truth that sometimes there are none at all. We also explore survivor’s guilt, unanswered questions, anger, stigma, and what it looks like to keep living after unimaginable loss. Most importantly, we talk about hope — not the kind that magically fixes grief, but the kind that helps people survive it one day at a time. This episode is raw, vulnerable, and deeply human. If you’ve ever lost someone to suicide, worried about someone you love, or blamed yourself for not “doing more,” this conversation is for you.
