Aw thanks -
& sorry for your own pain of suicide.
I think suicides can be secrets - in any discussion I've had, people have talked about not only the grief, but the shame and the guilt.
There is no way to really help someone through it. I think one can bear witness to the pain, but the journey towards healing from trauma is singular.
It helps to talk about this and take away the shame and the guilt - to focus on the trauma and the grief & yes, sometimes the rage.
I've talked about this so much - what I've realized is the intensity and volume is muted but the trauma of this will never, ever change. It will always be present.
But thank you so much for your post.
