Joining a suicide loss support group offers many benefits. You will be joined with others who have experienced the same type of loss and have experienced the same feelings you have. You will realize that you are not alone, and there is healing in conversation with others.
Benefits of a suicide loss support group are…
A sense of community and support
A sense of belonging when the bereaved person feels detached from the rest of the world
An opportunity to discuss fears and concerns without judgement
A setting where expressing grief is acceptable, confidentiality is observed, and others surround the bereaved with compassion
Experience with facing difficult anniversaries or special occasions
Hope that “normality” can be reached eventually
