[Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide @SOBScharity]

Anxiety after a bereavement by suicide can feel constant, confusing, and exhausting.

You might not always understand why it’s there, and that's okay too. These feelings are a natural response to a sudden bereavement, and you don’t have to face them alone 💜
