Hi my names ginger p i have lost two people to suicide the pain never leaves you  its raw at first overwhelming its all you think about the questions left unanswered the what did i miss what could i have done they can go on forever the point is to love them  no  matter what remember them with joy if you can  to understand the pain will change it moves out of the raw stage to a place of understanding that the human heart still loves still  holds them close and releases them to peace i have found that the support of the suicide bereavement support group helped me through the darkest dayes of my life they gave me a safe place to talk about my loved ones and never judged any thing i had to say which at times was very hard to listen to everyone who has lost someone to suicide needs a safe place to talk thank you.
