Description
How do you navigate the loss of someone you love?
And what do you do when that loss was unexpected, to say the least?
In this episode, I sit down with Dani Bates, who talks about what life has been like for her and her family since losing her husband to suicide and becoming a widow.
Dani is a 33 year old mom of two girls (Winnie is 6 and Piper is 4). They lost her husband Denny to suicide in March 2019 and has been an only parent ever since.
She talks about dating, marriage, being a widow, mental health, raising my girls, grief, and suicide prevention.
Listen in as we talk about:

[6:35] The logistics of managing a household as a single parent
[11:00] What Dani thinks led to Denny’s suicide
[16:35] The triggers that happen in everyday life
[20:50] Professions that have the highest suicide rates and why
[25:05] How some suicide survivors feel after having survived their attempt
[26:15] What being a widow has been like for Dani
