In this heartfelt episode, we sit down with Michael Vinton to discuss his deeply personal journey following the tragic loss of his brother in a murder-suicide during the pandemic in August 2020. Michael opens up about the duality of grieving for a loved one who also committed a heinous act, the stigmas associated with murder-suicide, and the importance of creating spaces for such conversations. He shares his work with Impacted Survivors of Murder-Suicide, an organization aiding those affected by similar tragedies, and his effort to provide support, awareness, and advocacy. The episode underlines the need for language and platforms for discussions around sensitive topics like mental health and complex grief.
