International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day

Losing someone to suicide is both unthinkable and emotionally unbearable. Those left behind struggle to make sense and put words to their loss so that others and themselves can understand. I know because I lost my father to suicide. Saturday, November 19, 2022, is the day set aside for survivors of suicide loss to come together and find connection, understanding, and hope through their shared experiences. I will host an event for my community on this day for survivors of suicide loss to come together and learn how they can move forward and incorporate their loss into living well and whole. This event will have speakers, a counselor, video clips from survivors, and opportunities for survivors to come together and feel understood. I desire to provide lunch to each attendee, in addition to providing selected books as resources to assist survivors in navigating through their unique losses. Please consider donating that will offset the cost of providing lunch and resources for these survivors. Thank you in advance for your support. Lynne
