Grief Therapists

If you have the opportunity and funds, consider going to a therapist. That enables you to talk about and attempt to understand what you are experiencing in the safety and privacy of a protected professional relationship. You will quickly know — after two or three visits — if your therapist is accustomed to and comfortable with working with survivors. If not, go elsewhere.

You may also wish to consider joining a survivor’s support group in your community. It is unbelievably comforting to talk with people who have also lost a loved one to suicide. Look under the Resources tab for additional resources and support groups.
