Abigail and Toby discuss their experiences of grief and LGBTQ+ identity after losing loved ones to suicide.

Abigail (21) and Toby (20) are both part of the LGBTQ+ community, and they were both bereaved by suicide when they were teenagers. In this episode, they explore their different grief journeys but also find plenty of common ground.
