While there is no single cause, suicide most often occurs when stressors exceed the coping abilities of a person. Because of the social stigma surrounding suicide, survivors feel the pain of the loss yet may not know how to express it or where to turn for support.
The pain and consequences of losing a loved one may be even more traumatic for children. It is sometimes helpful to reach out to the community for support.
The goal of this page is to provide a list of helpful resources when you or someone you know has suffered the loss of a loved one through suicide.
