Survivors of Suicide

Volunteer-led nonprofit offering #support groups and other resources to those bereaved by #suicideloss

So like all who interact with acutely bereaved persons, we are often asked: "Does it ever get better?" Our response may not be exactly what they want to hear or expect, but it is all we have: "No, but it gets different and so do you and you come to manage better." Best!

To all suicide loss survivors: it can be difficult to protect your peace during this traditionally stressful time of year. Embracing your choices, prioritizing self-care, honoring your love, and so much more can help.

@elainemarie58 A #suicideloss survivor we know gives her son cards with messages on some holidays and on his birthday and has been doing so for almost 30 years. Whatever works and gives support is okay by us.

Well-put comment that applies even more perhaps to #suicideloss survivors who may feel ill at ease enjoying a sunny day because their loved one can enjoy it too...

It is not being disloyal to our child to feel happy. You might find yourself enjoying a special meal, a drink, the good company of friends, songs and music. Adjusting to life without your child means that hopefully, in time, you will find more joy in living.

Someone asked if we knew of any support resources for those who have experienced a #murder-#suicide. If you know of anything please let us know and we will pass it the information on. Thanks!
