Suicide survivors share a singular bond. Although each of our situations is unique, we tend to experience similar feelings, emotions, questions and stages of grief. Because suicide grief is so different than grief experienced from other types of death, many survivors value the understanding available at suicide survivor support groups.  These groups often provide an opportunity to meet other survivors who are further along in their grief journey and who provide hope for the newly bereaved. 

Some survivors seek out the support of a group immediately, while others may wait years to go. You may find that it takes a few meetings to feel comfortable or that a particular group is not right for you.  Support groups provide a good opportunity to meet others in similar circumstances, often resulting in life-long friendships.
