After a Suicide
| If you have lost someone by suicide, please check out the Alliance of Hope for Suicide Survivors. I founded that organization to provide comprehensive support for people coping with the shock and excruciating grief that accompany the loss of a loved one to suicide. I hope that you will find more resources there to help you deal with, and eventually heal from, what may well be the worst pain you will ever feel.

When an individual dies by suicide, survivors are left with intense, devastating and persistent pain. It is an experience unlike any other. It is normal to feel desperately unhappy and out of control following a suicide. It is normal to be consumed by waves of grief and despair and hopelessness.
