Child Suicide - a parent's worst nightmare. How do you survive this? And not just survive it, go on this live a happy, fulfilling life?
Peggy Green knows this journey well and is no stranger to child loss. Her daughter Courtney transitioned as a toddler following an accident at a time when there were very few resources available. Then, in 2018 her son, Connor, made the decision to take his own life. Once again she was stuck for resources that would help her shift to a place of joy and happiness again. She didn't want to stay stuck on the hamster wheel so decided that she would help others by researching all she could about child suicide then writing what she learned. “Survive Your Child’s Suicide: How to Move through Grief to Healing.” is Peggy's new book where she introduces a wholistic step-by-step process in three phases to help you move through grief to healing. Along the way, as a Grief Coach, Speaker and Author, she has helped many others experiencing child loss, especially to suicide. So she understands this area of loss well. Today she runs us through this very complex and messy area of grief, guilt and so much much more, providing many wonderful insights and tools along the way. Don't stay stuck any longer. You can find your way back to happiness.

- What the 3 C's are all about in dealing with guilt
- Why it is important to heal yourself as a whole - mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually

** This episode openly deals with the topic of suicide. Please use your discretion if deciding to listen, and if you do feel triggered, please ensure you seek immediate support from friends, family or professional support, if required. However, it is my intention that this episode be an open discussion on how you can move through this incredibly distressing time in your life to healing and being able to view both your loved one and yourself in a different light.
