Welcome to season 8 of Behind the Confident Smile Podcast, a weekly conversation with Bianca N. Cotton, founder of Behind the Confident Smile, author, wife, and mom. This season, we're making room for grief. Not just grief over losing a loved one, but grief over the life you thought you'd have. The plans that shifted. The version of yourself you had to let go of.
Joining me this week is Dr. Erie S. Crawford, PhD, LSW, is the author of The Other Side of Midnight: A Journey of Healing Spouses and Loved Ones Affected by Suicide, and a business psychologist with over 25 years of experience in social work. Out of her own loss, she's become a speaker and suicide recovery advocate, gently working to break the silence and stigma that so often surround suicide.
"I lost my husband to suicide in 2019, and I have been on a journey to break the silence and stigma that often surround suicide." Those words come from my guest, Dr. Erie S. Crawford, and I'm so grateful she was willing to sit with me and share her story. It's a conversation I hope you'll make room for too.
