A suicide bereavement support group can offer a safe and understanding space to share your story, express your feelings, and hear from others who are walking a similar path.
You might find strength in shared experiences, or new ways to cope from those who are further along in their experiences of grief.
Support groups might include:
- Suicide loss peer support groups – scroll down to the bottom of this page for a list of options
- WAVES suicide bereavement support groups
- The Seasons for Growth programme, offering support for children, young people, and adults navigating change and loss
- Groups for bereaved parents
- Widow and Widowers Association groups.
To find a group near you, contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau online or call at 0800 FOR CAB (0800 367 222).
“Seeking support from others with lived experience has been so helpful for me. Knowing you are not alone with how you have felt and how you are feeling brings a small sense of comfort. Also seeing how others (further down the line with their grief than you) are coping brings a sense of hope that I will be okay.” – Anonymous
