We Need to Talk About Suicide

In this heartfelt episode of 'Catch Some Soul Shine,' Dawn welcomes special guest Ava Henrickson from Denver to discuss the deeply important and sensitive topic of suicide. Ava courageously shares the story of losing her son Adam, who was stationed in the Army in Germany, to suicide in 2020. Through emotional recounting and raw honesty, Ava emphasizes the importance of openly discussing mental health issues, overcoming stigma, and the powerful journey of healing and growth through various modalities like writing, photography, art, and support groups. Ava and Dawn share their personal experiences, coping mechanisms, and concrete advice for those struggling with grief or supporting someone through such a difficult time. If you or someone you know is facing mental health challenges, please reach out for help through resources like the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.00:00 Introduction and Special Guest Introduction01:02 Ava's Heartbreaking Story05:16 Dawn's Personal Experience08:24 The Stigma and Misconceptions of Suicide10:39 Healing and Coping Mechanisms18:37 The Journey of Acceptance and Transformation23:16 Final Thoughts and ResourcesConnect with Ava Henrickson at avahenrickson.com🌟Retreat yourself🌟...In person or ONLINE!!
