Coping with Guilt as a Medical Professional
Kate had immigrated to New Zealand with her husband and 2 teenage children when her husband took his own life.
Richard was a medical professional, as Kate is, and although his depression had led to disordered thinking and behaviour, his suicide was a huge shock to everyone.
Kate felt a huge amount of guilt from her identity as a medical professional but found strength to move back to the UK and made peace, as much as she can, with what has happened.
A story of true strength in the face of a mother and medical professionalā€™s extreme pain and loss.
