Bereavement

Support after a suicide

Losing someone to suicide brings a particular kind of pain, often with questions that will never have answers. You are not to blame.

Specialist services exist and they understand the difference. Ask for them by name. If you are also having thoughts of ending your life, tell the person you speak to and contact the urgent lines immediately.

Keep the practical support close: one friend, one appointment, one day at a time.
