The Chapter That Changed Everything
In this episode of What Would They Say, Shannon sits down with Doug and McKenna, the father and sister of Riley, a young man whose life ended in suicide. Together, they share not only the story of Riley's death, but more importantly, the story of his life - the person he was, the love he inspired, and the profound impact his absence continues to have on those who knew him best. In the year following Riley's death, Doug and McKenna found themselves navigating the complex and often isolating realities of grief. Alongside the heartbreak, unanswered questions, and life-altering loss, they were faced with another challenge: how to continue carrying Riley's story forward in a way that honoured his life while helping others. By creating This Is My Chapter, they have transformed personal tragedy into a mission of connection, conversation, and suicide prevention. This episode invites listeners to consider how we make meaning from life's most devastating chapters. It asks what becomes possible when we choose connection over silence, and whether sharing our stories might help others feel a little less alone.

Finding Home Again
Memory, belonging, and learning to live where love still echoes. In Part 2 of Shannon’s conversation with Racheal Rye, the focus shifts from grief itself to the places grief inhabits. After losing her children Christian, Hannah and Ben, Racheal found herself navigating not only profound loss, but the spaces that held it. Homes, rooms, routines, landscapes and everyday objects became intertwined with memory, love and longing. Some places offered comfort. Others carried heartache. All became part of the story she was learning to live with. Together, Shannon and Racheal explore what it means to remain in places forever changed by loss, the relationship between memory and belonging, and how we begin to rebuild a sense of home when life no longer looks the way it once did. This is a gentle and deeply human conversation about place, identity, resilience, and the enduring connections that remain long after those we love are gone. Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of child loss, grief, death, trauma and bereavement. Please take care while listening. If this conversation raises difficult emotions for you, bereavement support services, crisis contacts and additional resources can be found in the show notes at ifthesetreescouldtalk.com.au.

I Bend, I Don’t Break: Life, Love, Death and the Grief That Connects Them
In this deeply personal episode, Shannon sits down with her close friend Racheal for a conversation about grief and the unimaginable experience of losing a child. Rachel has lost three of her children — Christian, Hannah and Benjamin — each in different circumstances, at different times in her life. Through her story, we explore what grief asks of a person, what it means to breathe when that feels impossible, and how love continues even when life has changed forever. This is not a conversation about easy healing or neat answers. It is about endurance. About the moments that bend us to our absolute limits. And about the quiet, hard-won wisdom that can come from the unimaginable. Content Warning: This episode discusses child loss, terminal illness, childhood illness, motor vehicle death, grief, trauma and emotional distress. Please listen with care. If this episode brings up difficult feelings, please reach out to someone you trust. You do not have to carry grief alone. In Australia, you can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636.
