Supporting those grieving the loss of a loved one who died by suicide
We hope this brochure will serve and gently guide individuals and families facing suicide loss, who often need more support, but receive less. We wish to reassure those grieving that they are not alone, and extend compassion and comfort to those who have lost a loved one to suicide. We have also created a companion piece.
Grieving a Loss to Suicide Support Group
A monthly drop-in group for adults in the Jewish community and beyond who are navigating the world after the loss of a loved one to suicide. Co-led by experienced clinicians Tracey Lipsig Kite, LCSW and Wendy Dolin, LCSW, a survivor of suicide loss. More Information HERE.
