The Leftover Pieces; Suicide Loss Conversations
Grief Began Before Loss: Suzanne Howes' Story
Show Notes

Today I speak to a mom who lost her son to suicide just over a year ago.  Suzanne lost her 17 year old son Samuel to suicide on 2nd September 2020. Samuel struggled with his mental health for 4 years prior to his death which had a huge impact on Suzanne and her family. Suzanne is determined to make a difference in Samuel's name and support others who have travelled this lonely path. Suzanne set up www.coachingafterloss.com to create a safe space for those who have suffered loss to explore their challenges, rebuild their confidence and find meaning and purpose to move forward. She is an NHS nurse and qualified coach who combines her passion for caring with coaching experience.

You can find Suzanne in all of her spaces HERE on her Linktree Link

 My brand NEW website "The Leftover Pieces; Rebuilding You" is LIVE and that means my 2 x/mo FREE SUPPORT GROUP is available AND my first coaching options are available. The first (3 month) group is planned to begin  NOVEMBER 3  and there  will be a new group begin every 10 weeks after.  There will be limited spots in each group so let me know if you want on the notify list! These groups will be one part community, one part discovery/growth. I believe these two things are intertwined for us in the earlier stages of grief especially.
