Surviving Suicide Loss: Rick Thomas & Elle Fisher in Conversation | Yachting USA - PART TWO

12d ago 51:44

MP3•Episode home

What happens when grief becomes too heavy to carry alone? In this second part of a two-part series, Yachting USA host Rick Thomas and Elle Fisher — Author & Advocate — share an unflinchingly honest dialogue about suicide, grief, plant medicine, resilience, and what it means to keep moving forward.
This episode is not just an interview — it’s a shared survival story. Rick opens up about the devastating loss of his 21-year-old son, Aidan, while Elle reflects on her own lived experiences with multiple suicide losses. Together, they explore the silence that surrounds grief, the stigma that isolates survivors, and the courage it takes to speak openly.
In this conversation, you’ll hear:
✅ Rick’s personal story of losing his son Aidan to suicide
✅ Why grief is not linear — and why the “five stages” model falls short
✅ The power of plant medicine in processing trauma and reconnecting with spirit
✅ How silence, stigma, and masking can push people deeper into despair
✅ Why kindness, compassion, and leadership in yachting (and beyond) are critical for mental wellness
✅ How sharing stories can open pathways to healing — and even save lives
This series is a call to break the silence. Because every time we speak about suicide, we take away its power to isolate.
