Why language around bereavement by suicide is important with Harry Corin

The Grief Gang

Welcome to episode 1, season 4 of The Grief Gang podcast.

Harry Corin, our guest today, lost his dad Will to Suicide at the age of 12. In today’s episode, you’ll hear harry take us back to that day and what those immediate days after his dads death were like. How harry and his family were treated in their town, how their local media treated his dads death and how it was depicted, most importantly, how detrimental that was to them all and their grieving process.

Language around bereavement by suicide is so important. We can all learn and do better. Whether we’ve been immediately effected by suicide or not. Harry and I discuss today certain phrases or terminology that is used both culturally and professionally that needs to be reassessed. We answer and discuss some of the questions and feedback that you, TGG audience so kindly shared. Things that grind your gears and things that comfort you. Harry gives such an open and honest account about how and why this conversation and learning needs to be had. So much so, I’ve verbally signed myself up for one of his courses!

I really, really enjoyed this interview with Harry and walked away learning so much more than I already did. And I hope you do too! It’s important to note here, as Harry and I do, that even if there are things that we’ve said in this episode that we think aren't appropriate to say, and you yourself have said them, it’s okay. You’re not a bad person. You, we, can all learn from each other and these conversations!
