IT'S COMPLICATED
A Hurricane of the Horrific
Weathering the storm of suicide loss can seem like drowning in never-ending waves of grief. You are not alone. Resources are available and accessible to help you heal and provide a lifeline of hope and support.
When you experience close loss through suicide, you are at risk for complicated or unresolved grief. Having information can help.
Knowing predictive patterns can equip you (like adding plywood sheets over fragile glass windows) when gale-force winds of sorrow batter your mind and soul.
