Would love to hear your thoughts...
In this special episode for World Suicide Prevention Day, Caroline Roodhouse shares an intimate and powerful reflection on her journey through grief following the loss of her husband, Steve, to suicide in 2018. With raw honesty and deep vulnerability, Caroline recounts her path from the darkness of despair to a place of hope and healing. She delves into the process of writing her book, Daddy Blackbird, a work that embodies the delicate balance between heartbreak and the promise of renewal.
Caroline offers profound insights into how she moved from the number four to three, a symbolic transition that led her to find peace in triangles. She beautifully describes how triangles, like pyramids, provide a sense of strength, balance, and solidity amidst the chaos of loss. Her reflections reveal the unexpected ways that grief can shape our understanding of the world, allowing new structures of resilience and meaning to emerge.
Throughout the conversation, Caroline emphasizes the importance of kindness—to oneself and others—as a vital force in navigating the turbulent waters of grief. She speaks about the unwavering power of community, illustrating how connection, compassion, and shared experiences are crucial to finding light in the darkest moments.
As we approach the launch of Daddy Blackbird on October 10th, this episode stands as a heartfelt tribute to the journey from sorrow to solace, offering listeners a beacon of hope, the strength in vulnerability, and the healing power of kindness and community.
