Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide Volunteer & Author Jonathan Lee’s interview on BBC Radio Sheffield.
Survivors of Bereavement by Suicides volunteer and author, Jonathan Lee has given an interview on BBC Radio Sheffield. He took to the radio on the Paulette Edwards show to discuss why he decided to volunteer for our charity and set up a new Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide support group in Barnsley.
Please note that during the interview the term ‘committed suicide’ is used.
Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide does not condone the use of this phrase & promotes the use of non-stigmatising terminology.
Jonathan is fundraising for the Barnsley group by donating the royalties of his newest book to Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide.
Since losing our son Jonathan to suicide in May 2011, we have done quite a lot of fundraising. We have held boot sales, stalls at fetes, skydives and many, many raffles.
In 2005 we tragically lost Fee – beloved wife and mother, when she took her own life. The shock and loss was enormous and it wasn’t until 2009 when we discovered Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide. This charity has helped all three of us, in different ways, in coming to terms with such a painful loss. It is a loss that you never get over, but their involvement in our lives has helped us to move on but not forget.
