Bereaved by Suicide
Our deepest condolences on the loss of your beloved child. Words seem inadequate but one mother has penned a personal letter to share her experience with the loss of her son to suicide and to help you understand the path ahead of you. Please take a look.
If you are looking for a support group for suicide-bereaved parents, please enquire with Healing Bridge (run by SOS) and Healing Hearts, a mothers support group (run by The Therapy Room)
