Uniting for Suicide Postvention - Voices of Other Loss Survivors
Community Pages: Understanding Suicide Loss | Voices of Other Loss Survivors | Additional Resources
Losing someone in your life who died by suicide is a complex process that can involve unfamiliar emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, which may leave you feeling alone and disconnected from others. Hearing stories from other loss survivors can play an invaluable role in the healing process by helping you regain a sense of normalcy and connection after a profoundly painful event. In this section of USPV, several suicide loss survivors share their personal accounts of grief after losing someone to suicide.
In the following three short films, Alyssa T. Caselli-Allen, SSgt, USAF, Jack Cohenour, SMSgt, USAF (ret), and John Moran, UT3 (SCW), share their experiences with suicide loss and the ways they have sought and received support.
