My niece took her own life - now what?

And it begins—a healing journey for those left behind. In our first episode, host Gayle Miller speaks about the death of her 31-year-old niece, Laura, a woman she loved like a daughter. This is a space for those navigating the aftermath of losing someone who took their own life. If you're waking up in disbelief, replaying memories, searching for meaning, wondering where you belong in this grief—Gayle is speaking directly to you. Through her relationship with Laura, she gives voice to the love that continues and the devastation that follows. Loss doesn't belong to one role in a family. It lives in everyone who loves, everyone trying to keep breathing, everyone learning to carry what cannot be put down. Here, you are allowed to hurt. Your questions are welcome. You are not invisible. Gayle created this show because she couldn't find a place that spoke to being left behind as an aunt. Her promise: companionship, honesty, and the reminder that love still exists, even now. If you need someone to walk with you, press play. You matter. You are loved. You do not have to go through this alone. If you are in immediate danger or need crisis support, please call 988 or your local emergency number.   End of episode song: Angels By My Side by Lunar Years, licensed on Bensound Certificate # 2245544 Connect with us on Instagram @thoseleftbehindpodcast
