**Trigger warning**

This episode contains subject matter that some listeners may find difficult to listen to, including abuse and suicide. 

In this short mid-month episode, we hear a spoken word piece by Kendall Rhae performed live in the Stories Less Spoken studio to a piano composition by our host and prolific Victoria musician Colin Craveiro.

For our feature story, Jessica Jansen speaks of loss, love and saying what you mean, when there is still time to say it.
