How Loss by Suicide is Like a Chicago Winter

Jessica | June 22, 2015

Here in Chicago, we experience a number of dreary days.  Especially during the winter months.  I wake up thinking, “When will I ever see the sun again?!”  The first few months, even years following a loss by suicide can feel like living without sunshine.  Every task seems impossible.  But just like the Chicago winter, the rain and gloom does pass, and the sun does shine again.
