Your feedback is what keeps us going. Whether it’s positive, constructive, or somewhere in between — we appreciate it all. If you have thoughts, suggestions, or recommendations for our podcast, please share them with us!The world of mental health is ever-evolving, deepening our understanding of the brain, the causes of mental illnesses, and their treatments. In this podcast, we share the poignant story of Mrs. Aliza Bulow, whose beloved son Doni tragically died by suicide. Although his loss was devastating, it did not come as a shock. Doni had battled with suicidal thoughts for years, and his mother is grateful for their beautiful, loving relationship and the support she could provide during his struggles. She always hoped for a different outcome but acknowledges that 'He was born when he was supposed to be, and he died when he was supposed to.' If Doni were born today, perhaps better treatments might have been available. However, this was the journey Hashem chose for him. When the rabbi asked, 'What should we tell the community about Doni's cause of death?' both Mrs. Bulow and her husband insisted on honesty, aiming to dismantle the stigma surrounding suicide. It is a mental health issue, and concealing it only complicates the grief. There is no shame in it, and through this podcast, Mrs. Bulow continues her mission to bring this message to light. YouTube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsK24OSmIYG_XWzeplhfmb8LJcWKphITh&si=untn3fmHLLaEEFNmApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/relief-from-grief-by-mayrim/id1788349916Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3AvWNp0DrHqE5AVYJHooiK?si=ufpIObuGRumS5uFXmvrpgA Questions or feedback?
