Melbourne woman Lisa is a mother and a teacher, who, with her husband Richard, had two boys. (They’ve asked that their surname be withheld.)

In 2011, as his year 12 was finishing and his HSC exams approached, their eldest son, Elliot, died by suicide.

Journalist Ginger Gorman has written on the topic of suicide amongst young men who are NOT mentally ill , and she sat down with Lisa to record an interview about that dreadful day, and its aftermath.

As Lisa explains, their life was very normal, their parenting was very loving and caring, yet their son still took his own life, leaving behind him a thousand unanswered questions.
