In this episode, Fiona and her nephew Michael recount the day Michael learned his father, John, had died by suicide and explore the profound impact on a family of five children.
They discuss the events leading up to the death, including economic and mental health struggles, the shock and fragmentation that followed, and how the family coped and found resilience over time.
