Grieving alone lasts forever.
How do families cope when faced with the devastating loss of a loved one to suicide? In this episode of Writing on the Walls, host Rob Hlavaty sits down with Dr. David Treadway, a nationally-renowned clinician, author, and educator. Dr. Treadway opens up about losing his mother to suicide at just 20 years old and the profound impact it had on him and his family.
The conversation dives into how family systems typically respond to such a tragedy, often becoming 'frozen' in their grief, and the importance of continuing the conversation with the lost loved one. Dr. Treadway also sheds light on why men are at a higher risk for suicide, exploring contributing factors and the role of rigid gender roles in emotional expression. He emphasizes that grieving alone can be a lifelong burden and advocates for seeking support from family, friends, or therapists.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the aftermath of suicide or looking to support someone who is. It offers a blend of personal stories and professional insights, making it both deeply moving and incredibly informative.
