Trigger Warning: Suicide, self-harm
In this story written specially for World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th, writer Smitha Murthy introduces us to Varsha, a young woman with a life-changing, life-saving mission. The story slowly traces a thread of a conversation, bringing it to an altogether unexpected ending. I Saw Her First explores dejection and disappointment, loss and loneliness. But it also makes an even more powerful case for compassion and empathy, for patient listening and a helping hand- one that is offered and extended, till it is taken.
Details of the episode
1. The corrosive pain of self-doubt.
2. How a listening ear makes all the difference.
3. How suicide is a worldwide phenomenon that needs urgent addressing.
