Suicide often leaves behind survivors. Parents, children, friends, spouses, coworkers....The list goes on and on. Suicide prevention is a major focus of clinical psychology as it rightfully should be with lives lost across the country every day. However, the wake of suicide...the people left behind...are often the forgotten victims. I hope these videos can express some of the pain, sorrow, and loss experienced by loved ones of suicide completers. I hope that exposure leads to compassion, empathy, and preparation to help the surviving victims of suicide cope with their difficult loss. I also included several resources in helping family members cope with suicide.
