This week on Ghosted, we’re joined by our first Canadian guest, Lea, co-founder of Puppy Sphere., who shares the story of losing her older sister to suicide. We talk about the impossible task of trying to understand depression, the lasting impact of a death like this, and the heartbreaking reality that a man was later convicted for selling poison online to people seeking to end their lives.

Lea opens up about the joy her sister brought into every room, why she believes depression can feel like an evil force living inside someone, and how she’s spent every day since trying to better understand the people and families affected by suicide loss.

She also shares another layer of grief: learning just one month after her sister’s death that her partner of ten years had been unfaithful, forcing her to navigate two profound losses at once.
