]]> Content warning: This episode contains discussion around suicide.


In this heartfelt episode of the Heard Storytelling podcast, we talk with Emma, who recounts her experience of losing her mother to suicide. During this challenging period, Emma found comfort in the support provided by the charity, Missing People.

 

Emma explains why she chose to tell her story and its impact. She describes her journey, including her involvement with the Missing People Choir and their incredible appearance on Britain's Got Talent, which aided the charity's goal of reuniting families with their missing relatives.

 

We delve into the cathartic and uplifting nature of singing and its potential for healing. We also consider the role of public recognition in Emma's life and how it has influenced her after her loss. 

 

Listen to this episode to hear more about Emma's story and the hope it brings to others in similar situations.


This episode was hosted by Colette Burroughs-Rose and Caroline Dyer.
