Guilt makes you speak from the wound. You're still hurting from the loss, but you haven't allowed it to scar over to heal and then allow you to learn from that loss. So what I would say to those that are feeling that guilt is speak from the scar and not the wound.
Imagine losing a loved one to suicide and finding the strength to turn that pain into a mission to help others. That's exactly what Phillip Tyler did. In this heartfelt episode of 'The Resilience Factor', host Rod Price sits down with Phillip, who shares his powerful journey from unimaginable grief to becoming a beacon of hope for those struggling with suicidal thoughts. In 2017, Phillip's world was turned upside down when his son, Devon, took his own life.
The weight of that loss could have crushed him, but Phillip chose a different path. Instead of succumbing to despair, he channelled his grief into fighting suicide through compassionate communication and connecting people with vital resources. His story is not just about surviving; it's about finding purpose and strength in the darkest of times.
Phillip's candid conversation with Rod offers listeners a raw and inspiring look at how one can rise from the ashes of tragedy to make a meaningful impact. Whether you're dealing with your own struggles or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a heartfelt reminder that hope and resilience can emerge even in the bleakest moments.
