Finding Inspiration After Suicide Loss

Jessica | April 6, 2015

Rarely do we look at suicide loss with a positive lens.  Yet, after loss we often learn how strong we truly are.  Each day brings new challenges after losing someone we love.  While we might not be where we want to be, there is always that hope that we will be better tomorrow, and even better the day after that.  Use that desire to inspire yourself to live each day to its fullest.  And if today, you just need to “be.”  Then be.  But hold on to the fire within and the desire to be better.

    Well said! Another survivor of suicide, whose outlook has been positively influenced by your efforts, introduced me to your site.

    It is a great thing that you are doing. Your lost loved ones would be so proud!

    Thanks,
    Don (lost my wife of 46 years to suicide in January of this year)
