    Help is at Hand: Support after someone may have died by suicide

    This guide has been designed to help you to choose when and what sections are most appropriate for you. It is not intended as something you need to read through from cover to cover.

    Your family, friends or colleagues may also find it helpful to look through this guide so that they can begin to try and understand a little of what you are going through and how to find the right help.

    Some sections focus on how you may be feeling; others on what may be happening. Throughout – and in more detail at the back – are some suggestions for sources of further support. There are also quotes from people who have been bereaved and who have experienced some of what you may be going through.

    Why Come for Suicide Bereavement Counselling?

    After losing a loved one to suicide, family members and friends may become overwhelmed by intense emotions like grief, anger, guilt, confusion, disbelief and despair. In the early stages and for some time you may be in deep shock and experience numbness you may be in deep shock and experience numbness towards everything around you.

    Counselling allows you to talk about what you are experiencing. It gives you an opportunity to talk to someone outside the family or your group of friends, which itself can be helpful.

    In counselling there is an opportunity to talk about the person who has died, the suicide itself and what the person who has died, the suicide itself and what it means to you. During your sessions with a counsellor you can explore all the emotions you are experiencing and how your life has changed since the loss.

    Research shows it is important, and helpful, for a bereaved person to talk about their experience of suicide, to express emotions, to attempt to make suicide, to express emotions, to attempt to make meaning of the loss and ultimately develop a new relationship with the person who has died.

    At Console, all our counsellors are specifically trained and skilled in the area of suicide grief. They can work with you at a very comfortable pace, to bring health, hope and new ways to cope, into your life
