Suicide is often associated with depression and substance abuse, but a therapist told me that the number one predictor of suicide is feeling trapped, feeling trapped by circumstances, being trapped in life where you can't make changes in areas you want to make changes in.
How do you find the strength to move forward after unimaginable loss? In this deeply moving episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Margaret Thomson, an author and journalist whose life was turned upside down when her son Kieran, a medic in the Army, took his own life at the age of twenty-two. Margaret shares her raw and heartfelt journey through grief, faith, and the painful process of healing.
Margaret's story isn't just about loss; it's about the resilience of the human spirit. She opens up about the darkest moments of her life and how she found solace in writing, which became a lifeline during her despair.
