I’ve lost someone to suicide

I’ve lost someone to suicide  

Losing someone to suicide turns your whole world upside down.

It’s totally normal to feel shocked, angry, worried, numb, guilty or alone – or a mix of these things. 

There’s no right or wrong way to feel. Getting support can help you to deal with whatever is in your head and heart.

If you're struggling or worried , it's important that you reach out and talk to an adult you trust.

Talk Grief is a dedicated online space for grieving teenagers and young adults which can help you feel less alone. You’ll find out from people your age what it’s really like to live with grief, along with tips from Talk Grief’s bereavement experts on ways to cope.

Young Mind has blogs from young people who have lost a sibling to suicide or their best friend. If you’ve lost your dad, this podcast episode from Talking Grief is worth a listen. 

And if you’re supporting someone else who has been bereaved by suicide, Finding the words will help you work out what to say to show you care.
