From AFSP: "Su***de loss can have a profound and sometimes devastating impact on those left behind, called su***de loss survivors. Bereavement after su***de may entail high levels of disorientation, guilt, regret, anger, shame, and trauma. Survivors sometimes also find their relationships with other people changed, as they struggle with the social stigma often placed on su***de and the altered family relationships that have been changed by the feelings of guilt, blame, and failure that su***de may engender. Survivors may also be at risk for elevated rates of complicated grief and future suicidality themselves. All of this makes surviving a su***de loss a potentially life-transforming ordeal that requires a level of support that goes beyond traditional grief counseling." Our next Su***de Survivors Support Group (SSSG) will be meeting on Tuesday, December 30th, 2025, 6:30-7:30 pm. If you are interested in attending our SSSG, please contact me Kent Laudeman, klaudeman@uhs-in.org
