This episode discusses what you might experience when you are grieving a suicide death. Not only in the initial period after the death, but the weeks, months, and indeed years afterwards. Everybody’s experience is different but there are some similar experiences that people have. It may be the case that the things you normally do to make yourself feel better may not work and you might need to try different things. But know that you need to take it easy on yourself and show some self compassion because what you are experiencing is probably the most traumatic thing you have been through in your life.
