What Has Helped the Most After Suicide Loss

This  is a summary of a three part podcast series I did in early 2022 where I go "Down the Rabbit Hole" to discuss "what has helped me the most" (after the loss of my son by suicide). The series goes into all of the areas I think most grievers find themselves looking for help and comfort and healing. 

In Part 1, I talk about 'Community and Support' and what that has meant (& still means) to me as a parent who will forever grieve the loss of her son. Most of what I discuss today centers around the idea. I believe to my center that finding other grievers that know this loss, is essential to our healing. This could be a support group or maybe serving as a volunteer together. Also, it's vital that you have a support network of friends and family....but what about the ones who aren't so supportive? 

In Part 2, I talk about 'Tools and Practices' and what that has meant (& still means) to me as a parent who will forever grieve the loss of her son. Most of what I discuss today centers around the idea that early on we find the tools that work to help us to build a 'toolkit' so that we may 'rebuild' ourselves and our life. Later, this same kit will assist when we need to do back in for 'repairs' or to the add-on, or 're-model' any part of your life. I also discuss practices (aka habits) that I have put into place.

In the final part - part 3, I talk about 'Time & Self Care' and as I say in this episode, they are both relative AND relevant in this life after loss. Time can feel like it stands still and flies by all at once. Self-care is both necessary and yet often completely evades us. I hope to offer some insight and maybe some ideas that will help you in your own journey to rebuild after your loss by suicide.
