About this episode

Sarita Egan shares her heartbreaking experience of losing her husband Mark to suicide and discusses the complexities of mental health and grief.

This week I sit down with Sarita Egan a mum of four who shares the heartbreaking loss of her husband Mark , who died by suicide. Mark had also battled for a period with severe psychosis on and off whilst coming off anabolic steroids. Sarita speaks openly about the shock of what happened, the guilt she carries, the complexity of Mark’s mental health in those final weeks, and the devastating impact his loss has had on her and their children. She shares her experience with honesty and courage, shedding light on a topic that is often misunderstood and rarely spoken about. This is a deeply emotional conversation about grief, mental health, and the ripple effect it continues to have on a family. ⚠️ Content note: This episode contains discussion of suicide and mental health which some listeners may find distressing.
