Suicide Grief

I know some of our members have lost loved ones to suicide, which is so difficult to deal with and leaves so many unanswered questions. Please see the following article that deals with this subject and provides some practical tips and coping ideas: https://www.helpguide.org/articles/grief/coping-with-a-loved-ones-suicide.htm. The suicide rate on the Island is far too high and we are losing precious members of our community to this horrible condition. Many of you will be aware of our friends at Bereaved Survivors of Suicide Isle of Man: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1124912667670365/ who do tremendous work for those who have lost loved ones to suicide.
