About this episode

Megan Kelly shares her experience of navigating the profound losses of her brother and mother, discussing the impact on her life and the importance of open conversations about mental health and suicide.

This week I sit down with Megan Kelly who shares the devastating loss of both her brother Graham and her mum Samantha , who died by suicide just over a year between each other. Megan speaks with incredible honesty about navigating two profound losses so close together, something very few people experience, and the impact it has had on her life. We had an open conversation about suicide, mental health, and the reality of grieving in such complex circumstances. This is a deeply important conversation, helping to bring understanding, reduce stigma, and encourage more open conversations around mental health. ⚠️ Content note: This episode contains discussion of suicide and mental health which some listeners may find distressing.
