Surviving a Suicide Loss  |  Resource and Healing Guide
3
At some point when we take a look back, we might recall a hug we 
were too numb to feel, a book we were too scattered to absorb, 
a card that tear-dimmed eyes wouldn’t allow us to read, or a story 
about our loved one that we listened to with both anguish and 
gratitude. Within those recollections, we may begin to see the 
many small wonders of progression that have since marked our 
path. Let those moments of reflection and recognition of your 
healing progress continue to lift you up and keep you moving 
forward with hope.
As fellow survivors of suicide loss, we urge you to remember 
these few but important things:
You are not alone.
There are resources and people to support you.
There is no universal time frame for healing, 
but you will move forward from the place 
where you are now.
We wish you strength and courage as you travel through your 
grieving, toward a place of healing.
Be well,
The AFSP Loss and Healing Committee
