You Don’t Want to Die — You Want the Pain to Stop

from Those Left Behind - Reality After Someone You Love Takes Their Own Life · host Gayle Miller

Most people who think about ending their life don’t actually want to die — they just want the pain to stop. In this powerful conversation, therapist, author, speaker, podcaster, and intuitive medium, Susan Grau, shares the truth about grief, trauma, and the pain that gets left behind. Susan Grau has lost five people to suicide, and she has personally battled thoughts of ending her life for many years. Susan shares what grief and trauma really do to the mind and body, why people reach a place where the pain feels overwhelming, and a powerful truth many families learn too late: the pain doesn’t disappear — it transfers to the people who love you. She also offers compassionate tools that helped her survive her darkest moments, including the grounding practice: “Stay where your feet are.”     Connect with Susan at https://susangrau.com/   https://myinfinite.app/   https://infinitesoulbenefits.com/   https://www.instagram.com/SusanGrauofficial/   If you are in immediate danger or need crisis support, please call 988 or your local emergency number.
