***EXTENDED EPISODE***
Carmel Beresford's life was split into two - before and after - when her son Sam died in a gyrocopter accident ten years ago in March 2011. In this episode, we hear from Carmel about Sam’s accident, the court case that followed, and her grief. A warning for listeners, we do discuss themes of depression and suicide. We also delve into what Carmel's life looked like before the accident as a teacher and later principal, the difficult decisions that had to be made when faced with a failed family business, and how she came to self-publish her book, Unforgiving. It's a long episode and, we believe, worth every minute.
You can buy Carmel's book Unforgiving at www.unforgiving.com.au.
