Every community experiences deaths by suicide.  When an intentionally self-inflicted death occurs families and friends suffer a magnitude of isolated, complicated grief. Because the grief that follows suicide is different from grief resulting from other causes of death, there is seldom the understanding, reinforcement, and guidance for growth toward healthy reconciliation and adjustment through these compounded grief dynamics. Everyone grieves differently but one common factor in the grief process is the need to be heard. Telling the story is a healing experience. Listening can be the best gift you give to anyone that is navigating through grief.
