Grieving the loss of someone due to suicide is an incredibly difficult and isolating experience. It can be difficult to find the words to express the pain and confusion you may be feeling, and it can be hard to know where to turn for support. Here, we create a safe space to offer support and understanding to those who have experienced the loss of a loved one due to suicide.

Understanding the Grief Process

Grief is a natural response to our losses and is an important part of the healing process. It is often a difficult, uncomfortable, and even painful experience, but it is an essential part of our healing journey. Grief can cause a wide range of emotions, including sadness, anger, guilt, confusion, and even relief. There is no right or wrong way to grieve and there is no timeline for how long it will take.

It is important to remember that grief cannot be rushed, and that it is okay to take all the time you need to process your feelings. Some days may be better than others, and that is okay. It is also okay to seek out professional help if you need it.
