In this moving episode of Version of Healing, host Dee-bo-rah sits down with Lisa Sugarman—mental health advocate, author, and survivor of suicide loss. Lisa opens up about the life-altering discovery of her father’s suicide years after his death and how it reshaped her identity and purpose. Together, they explore the complexities of grief, the lasting impact of generational trauma, and why breaking the silence around suicide is essential to healing.
Lisa also introduces The Help Hub, a powerful online resource connecting individuals and communities with personalized mental health support. From recognizing the subtle signs of someone in crisis to giving yourself grace through the grieving process, this episode is a heartfelt reminder that healing is not linear—but it is possible, and no one has to do it alone.
