This episode is all about the one year anniversary. When you are grieving any death, the one year anniversary can be a very upsetting time. But with a death by suicide there are other things that can also make it traumatic in different ways. Planning for the anniversary can help a lot and sometimes the anniversary itself is not as intense as the lead up. Talking to your community about what you are planning can be a good way to make sure you have support on and around the day, and if you are seeing a counsellor organising a few extra sessions is a good self-care strategy.
