Understanding grief
Grief is the natural response to losing someone or something we love. It is not a problem to be solved, it is love with nowhere to go, and it moves through us in waves.
There is no right way or right speed to grieve. Grief can bring sadness, anger, guilt, numbness, and even relief, sometimes all at once.
Grief after a suicide loss carries its own weight, often layered with shock and unanswered questions. Survivor support exists specifically for this, and connecting with others who understand can be a lifeline.
When grief needs extra support
Consider reaching out for help if you experience:
- Grief that feels stuck or unrelenting over a long period
- Inability to carry out daily responsibilities
- Intense guilt, self-blame, or hopelessness
- Withdrawing completely from people and life
- Thoughts of not wanting to be here
