Daddy Blackbird ? Closing session of WMHF2024

'We've found him. He's not alive. And it's clear he has done it to himself.' These were the fifteen unforgettable words I heard from the police who delivered the shocking news that my husband, Steve, had taken his own life. No warning. No signs. No note left behind. No explanation given.

As part of worldmentalhealthforum.com 2024 over the last 8 days, I've had the opportunity to talk to Caroline Roodhouse MCIPR about her and her young daughters journey in navigating life after their husband and father Steve's death by suicide and the inspiration behind her book, which is officially launched today. amazon.com/Daddy-Blackbird-surviving-thriving-suicide-ebook/dp/B0DD6XMNDB

Tag yourself and friends and family who you believe would benefit from reading Daddy Blackbird: The True Story of a Family Surviving and Thriving After Loss by Suicide in the comments below. WMHF and Caroline are offering 10 complimentary signed copies, including free postage within the UK, whose winners will be randomly selected from your entries.

Now, after an emotional and insightful week full of laughter and crying and moments of pure inspiration coming from each of you, please join us for tonight's closing session of this amazing week with all of you across the globe, presenting:
