Survivors of suicide: A support group leader’s handbook

Survivors of Suicide (SOS) is a support group for bereaved family members and close friends of suicide victims. The group provides a safe place for survivors to support one another as they deal with the painful questions and feelings that follow suicide.  Bereavement after suicide is a profoundly difficult and complex experience. The stigma of suicide and the painful emotions it engenders can leave survivors feeling isolated at a time when they need the support of others.
