SURVIVING A SUICIDE

The numbers are shocking and sad: some 200,000 people in the United States annually lose a loved one to suicide (according to the AAS). I have worked with a number of people who have been affected by suicide. They often come in with conflicting feelings: mourning, grief, rage and guilt. Therapy can be a lifeline for people who survive the suicide of a loved one. Some helpful resources include The Samaritans of New York (212-673-3000) which offers free of charge support groups for survivors of suicide and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline which you can call or text at 988.
