The days, months, and years after losing a loved one to suicide may be too much to handle by yourself. But you do not have to go through it alone. TSPN offers resources and contacts that can help you through this difficult period, and ways to remember those you have lost.
You may also be interested in “SOS: A Handbook for Survivors of Suicide”, a guide written by a fellow survivor for the American Association of Suicidology. Hard copies are available from the TSPN central office upon request.
Clinicians who are survivors can find resources here, via the American Association of Suicidology.
TSPN held a virtual event entitled “Finding Hope: An Interview with Survivors of Suicide Loss” in April 2021. Click here to watch the recording of the event.
988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline
The Lifeline is a free 24/7, confidential, short-term crisis counseling line for those experiencing distress. It is a myth that 988 is only for suicidal individuals; it is available to everyone. Call, text, or chat 988 if you are overwhelmed, stressed, and need to talk with a trained counselor.
This project is funded under a grant contract with the State of Tennessee, Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.
