The Darkside with Isaria and Stitchybitch - Episode 3

I threw my plans for Episode 3 out the window due to the passing of @lauralemons.
Her death hit me hard and Stitchy was good friends with her so she was devastated.
Stitchy took the night off due to mourning and dealing with the Hurricane.

I had asked @uniwhisp to join us to share her knowledge of intuition, empathic behavior, and emotional integration.
We did touch upon intuition, but we decided to spend most of the show honoring Laura’s memory.
We had some insightful discussions regarding suicide urge, grief, and ways to work through those dark emotions.

Stitchy had sent me a message before the show asking me to say a few words as a dedication to Laura:

“Laura finally followed our mutual friend, Bethanie into the dark. It was the anniversary of Bethanie’s death and that is one reason (one of the biggest) why she left us."

Bethanie and Laura

Stitchy also asked me to play a special song for Laura as a happy dedication of acceptance:

Death Cab for Cutie - I'll Follow You Into the Dark

This is the wonderful memorial post that Stitchy wrote for Laura.

It was an intensely emotional show, but I felt it was important to honor Laura’s memory. People tend to not want to discuss or hear about Suicide, but suicide urges are more common than we like to think and it’s important to bring awareness to this topic in order to help ourselves and to help others.


“Close to 800,000 people die due to suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. Many more attempt suicide. Suicide occurs throughout the lifespan and is the second leading cause of death among 15-29 year olds globally.” - World Health Organization.

This is the recording of the show. @uniwhisp offered some amazing insights regarding suicide urge and grief.

Rest in Peace Laura
