Resources for Loss Survivors
People who have lost a loved one to suicide are at higher risk for suicide. They often experience the same feelings as other people suffering from the death of a loved one. Suicide loss survivors may also feel guilt, shame, anger, confusion, stigma, isolation, and a need to hide the cause of death. Connecting with others who have shared similar experiences can help.
