Losing someone to suicide is unlike any other kind of loss. It shatters the heart, rewrites the story of who we are, and often leaves us searching for answers that will never come. The grief is complex – tangled in love, guilt, anger, confusion, and the quiet ache of what might have been. Yet even in the deepest darkness, there can be a path towards light – a slow rediscovery of meaning, connection, and hope.

At Suicide Grief Support, we understand that healing after suicide loss is not about “moving on”, but rather learning how to carry the pain differently. Founded by Dr. Sue Egan, a Counselling Psychologist and EMDR specialist who has lived through her own devastating losses, our mission is to walk beside those whose lives have been touched by suicide. Through suicide grief retreats, online support communities, and trauma-informed coaching, we create spaces where compassion replaces judgement and silence gives way to shared understanding.

The Weight of the Unspoken

After suicide loss, many find themselves isolated. Friends don’t know what to say, workplaces move on, and the world seems to continue spinning as yours stands still. There’s often an unspoken stigma surrounding suicide that leaves families feeling alone in their grief. That’s why spaces like Suicide Loss Support Groups UK are so vital. They bring together people who truly get it – who can listen without flinching, share without fear, and remind one another that even in shatteredness, there is strength.

Healing in Community

Our REBUILD online community is one such safe haven – a place where stories of love and loss are met with empathy and understanding. For those seeking deeper healing, our RELEASE, RISE, RECLAIM retreats offer a holistic approach through EMDR therapy, mindfulness, body-based practices, and compassionate dialogue. These retreats help participants release trauma stored in the nervous system and begin to reconnect with life in ways that feel safe and grounding.

We also offer Family and Individual EMDR Intensives, tailored to support the unique experiences of each person affected by suicide loss. Whether you are a parent, sibling, partner, or friend, your grief is valid and deserving of care.

From Pain to Purpose

Every story of suicide loss is different, but many who walk this path eventually find a new sense of purpose – to help others, to raise awareness, to live more fully in honour of those they’ve lost. At Suicide Grief Support, we believe that hope doesn’t erase pain, but grows alongside it. Through podcasts, training workshops, and supervision groups, we continue to build a compassionate network where both survivors and professionals can learn, share, and heal together.

You Are Not Alone

If you are grieving a suicide loss, please know that there is help, understanding, and hope waiting for you. Healing does not mean forgetting – it means finding a way to live again, gently and authentically, in the shadow of loss.
