Relating to Others After You’ve Experienced a Suicide Loss

We also know that many people bereaved by suicide can experience personal growth (also known as post-traumatic growth). This is a positive, enduring psychological change as a result of the loss, whereby people who experience grief may also experience positive impacts in different ways.

 

We know this is true because we listened to over 2,000 people who were bereaved by suicide, and they shared their stories with us as part of our research with the National Suicide Research Foundation.

 

These voices give us hope.

 

If you need support after suicide loss, we are here for you. We provide suicide bereavement support groups led by trained volunteers with lived experience of suicide loss. To learn more, you can read, Why attend a HUGG meeting What happens at HUGG meeting or fill out the form on our website and our telephone supporter will call you back to discuss you options and answer any questions you might have. 

 

And if you have been bereaved by suicide for 3 years or more, maybe you are ready to experience personal growth through volunteering.
