Help & Hope: For Survivors of Suicide Loss
This is a handbook and resource guide for those who have lost a friend or loved one to suicide, including ways to talk with children about suicide loss, memorials and how to remember a loved one, questions about social media, and financial concerns after a loss. This comes from an initiative out of Indiana, so the resources will be Indiana-based, but the handbook itself includes helpful information for survivors of suicide loss.
