S1: If/Then- A Woman Witnesses the Suicide of a Stranger(Stories of Suicide & Survival)
Season 1 · Episode 3
Tuesday, September 3, 2024 • Duration 40:12
Charlotte’s career is built on theoreticals. As an operating room nurse, she has a protocol for every tragedy — a “then” for every “if.” That all changes one night when, on her way home, Charlotte encounters a teenage girl on the wrong side of a guardrail on an overpass above a highway.
Charlotte wasn’t this girl’s mother, or sister, or best friend. She didn’t even know her. But Charlotte was the last person who spoke to the girl before she died. She was THERE. And now, she doesn't know how to get back to the way her life used to be.

S1: Two Letters - A Widow Remembers Her Husband With Two Letters(Stories of Suicide & Survival)
Season 1 · Episode 2
Tuesday, September 3, 2024 • Duration 53:22
This is an episode about two letters. One of those is the letter Jim left for his wife, Annie, before he died by suicide. The second is the letter Annie wrote to Jim after his death — and as she dealt with her own mental health issues and suicidality in the wake of it. When someone dies by suicide, people want it to be someone’s fault, so they can (hopefully) feel less like it’s their fault. But the thing is … it’s never anyone’s fault.

Thursday, September 12, 2024 • Duration 43:31
In the last episode, we heard from people who had ideated and/or survived their own suicide attempts, as well as people who had survived a loved one’s suicide. They told us about all the unhelpful and hurtful things that people had said or done.
But there ARE things that people can do and say that ARE helpful, and in this episode, we dive into it.

S1: The Happiness Equation- How a Friend's Suicide Propelled Neil Pasricha Toward a Happier Life(Stories of Suicide & Survival)
Season 1 · Episode 6
Thursday, September 19, 2024 • Duration 48:16
Neil Pasricha’s life is falling apart. His marriage, which gave him a sense of purpose and value, is over. His best friend has died by suicide. Therapy helps, but he still struggles with all of the negativity swirling in his head. So Neil does what a lot of people did in the mid-aughts: He starts a blog — a blog about awesome things that make him happy.
Right now, a lot of us rely on the internet and social media for connection and instead find the exact opposite. If that's you (and it probably is), this episode is for you.
