Mission Statement

"THE ISSUE IS GRIEF"

Information and Support for those who have lost a loved one to suicide !

When an individual dies, family and friends begin a period of grief. The loss of a loved one through suicide is a swift and devastating experience for the survivor because there is no preparation for acceptance of the death.

Guilt feelings are intensified by the "if only's" and frustration is sharply felt due to the unansweredquestions of "why" ? Often, people who have lost someone by suicide are comforted most by others who have undergone the same experience of loss.

The Sharing & Healing newsletter is by and about surviors. This newsletter will include sharing of experiences, books, resources, and reinforcements to 'Suicide Survivors.'

We will acknowledge the pain and the loss of life by suicide, yet offer hope and understanding necessary for the healing process to occur. Self-help encourages the ventilation of feelings which might not be shared with persons who have not lost a loved one to suicide.

We share and heal, with support and understanding, and a lack of judgmental attitudes. Your stories, your experiences, the name and story of your loved one, and related articles are welcome and may be included as space and issue permit.
