Sometimes we come across stories and blogs so perfectly told that we can’t do much to improve them. So we’re not going to. We’re going to offer the opportunity to share stories exactly as you want them told.
In this series, we’re creating podcasts from our favourite blogs, read by their writers in their own voices. This is In Her Own Words.
“The worst was waiting to see my baby brother when he was brought home for his wake. Wake. Funny name.”
The unexpected death of a loved one is a traumatic experience no matter what the circumstances. For Michelle, it shook her entire world.
Michelle’s brother Derek took his own life 24 days after turning 24.
Michelle penned this piece in response on her blog Needs Not Wants. She talks candidly about the events leading up to her younger brother’s death, the days following his passing and the effects on life after.
Here she bravely reads her post for In Her Own Words.
