Grief Support - Alliance for Suicide Prevention of Larimer County

Grief Support

Grief following a suicide is a complex and overwhelming experience. A suicide death leaves many unanswered questions. Every person grieves in their own way. At different times, people may feel: sadness, denial, relief, guilt, fatigue, loss, anger, shame, fear, disconnected from reality.

The stigma surrounding suicide can isolate families. Often, family members can become isolated from each other as they each struggle to grieve in their own way. There are no time limits to grief. Individuals can find a community of support at this grief support group, facilitated by 3Hopeful Hearts. It is free of charge and drop-ins are welcome.

Many loss survivor’s hands and hearts have touched this booklet, alongside professionals, in an
attempt to share practical information and resources to help you navigate the complex grief journey that is suicide loss. Taking care of yourself during times of grief and loss can sometimes seem
overwhelming and impossible. ASP’s Grief Support booklet is here in case you need a little help getting started.
