Losing my brother to suicide: Scott Leigh
In this edition of the Living with loss podcast, I'm joined by my good mate and medical Student Scott Leigh.
Scott lost his brother Oli to suicide, and an initial coping mechanism was to get lost in his books and work hard to avoid the emotions of Grief. Scott explains how his grief journey follows the path of the 5 stages of Grief, at times there has been anger other times denial. We also look at Scott's mental health journey, the difficulties he has faced, and we share stories over the weird world of panic attacks.
Scott and his Mum Michelle have founded the Oli Leigh Trust which is an organisation that fundaraises to give grants to small charities that focus on suicide prevention and well being training. The trust has done some wonderful things, including an event at Downing Street which I was lucky enough to attend. The work they do is stupendous and if you'd like to learn more, here is their link to the website : www.theolileightrust.org/#/

    I lost my older brother to suicide in 2011 when I was 27 and he was 29. We were very close growing up and hung out all the time and shared the same friends, interests etc. The first week for me after it happened was a complete blur. The huge feeling of loss hit me very hard and very fast, it was crippling. It took me months to really start feeling anything like myself. I was never angry with him for doing it as I have seen some people say they feel afterward. I felt a complete and seemingly unconquerable feeling of sorrow and sadness. I didn't know that being that sad could cause physical pain. I wished I could've done something for him or helped him get through his pain somehow. My family (Mother, Father and younger brother) and friends helped. Being able to grieve with my parents and younger brother really helped knowing I wouldn't have to go through it alone. The feeling of loss definitely hits me randomly and with varying degrees of severity. Today for example sucks man, even 12 years and 3 months later. One of the worst and sad feelings I've had in about 2 years, that's what brought me to this video! I love and miss you so much Adam, it really sucks that you'll never meet my wife or child and be a part of their lives. Grieving what could have been isn't as tough as when we lost you but it is still hard and it hurts very much. Thank you so much for making this video and sharing this story.

    I lost my little brother to suicide 4 years ago. It was hard to listen to this podcast because my feelings mirror what Scott is going through. It's crazy how the grief sneaks up on me when I least expect it. When it hits me it can still be debilitating. In a lot of ways, it's harder for me now than it was for months after he died. I sometimes still forget that he's really gone. I've tried to turn this horrible experience into a less horrible one by speaking about mental health and suicide here in the USA. Even so, I miss my brother so incredibly much. I don't think that will ever go away.

      Thank you for sharing that with me! Grief for sure has a funny way of arriving unannounced when we least expect it. Loss never goes away, it is an ever-present beast that shows no mercy. I hope you are looking after yourself on those tough days. Big love from the UK
