Finding Light after Suicide Loss with Stepha Doyle May 13, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, photographer Stepha Doyle bravely shares her story about what it was like to grow up with a parent with a mental illness. Stepha’s mum, Coleen, was diagnosed with bipolar when Stepha was in her teens. After being hospitalised several times, she tragically took her own life, when Stepha was only 17 years old. We discuss how she navigated a difficult dynamic, often feeling like a parent to her mother rather than a child, how she coped with her mum’s unpredictable behaviour, and how after her passing she found strength to keep going.
