Today's Guest is Jason Spaull. He is married with two children and is a small business owner on the Gold Coast, Australia.  Jason opens up about how losing his brother Mark to suicide has forced him to change his views on suicide and mental illness.  He gives us an insight into how he navigated his way through the first 12 months after losing his brother and shares his views on the stigma surrounding suicide. You will hear about his commitment to his family through tough times and how he coped with 14 return flights from the Gold Coast to Melbourne in 12 months.  With incredible resilience and tenacity throughout this intense time of grief, he transitioned out of one business into another and coped with profound short term memory loss.  Listen in to hear how this inspirational man kept himself and everybody else going, and how he has learned to thrive again in life.

Roses Radio is a podcast series of open and frank discussions with courageous people who have a lived experience of suicide. We hope the conversations help those who are trying to understand suicide and for many, to understand their own experience. Join us today for a deeply personal and sometimes confronting journey that we hope will leave you feeling inspired and uplifted.
