Suicide is one of the hardest topics to talk about and that’s exactly why we need to. In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle and Charice get real about what it’s like to sit with someone who feels like giving up, and how you can actually show up when a loved one is in that place.

We’ll share:

• How therapists gently ask the tough questions (and why it matters).
• The warning signs that often get missed.
• What to say that comforts vs. what to avoid.
• Why talking about suicide doesn’t “put the idea” in someone’s head—it opens the door to connection.
• How to balance compassion with boundaries so you don’t burn out while supporting someone you love.

This episode isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about breaking the silence, offering hope, and reminding you that no one has to walk this road alone.
