We may experience grief in significantly challenging, painful, and chaotic ways when someone we love, or anyone, dies from suicide. For a range of reasons the loss may create a range of lasting traumatic effects, such as recurring images of past events, flashback episodes, heightened depression and anxiety, negative changes in thinking and mood, heightened reactivity, avoiding reminders of the loss, difficulty sleeping, nightmares, and numbing behaviors. It is possible to get targeted help sorting and healing the specific ways that suicide loss can be complex and traumatic. What, if any, resources could you recommend that are targeted to support people experiencing bereavement from suicide?
