Remembering Graham: Joyce and Derek

The Listening Project
Contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting.

Available for over a year

Joyce and her son Derek talk about coming to terms with the sad and sudden loss of his brother Graham. While Graham had had ups and downs with his mental health, he seemed to be improving at the point Derek and Joyce got the news. He'd taken his own life by jumping from a bridge in Aberdeen's Union Street. Even now, almost two decades on, Joyce and Derek aren't clear on the circumstances surrounding the tragedy, and this has made it difficult for them to reconcile themselves to the loss.
