What Helps After Suicide Loss

As a suicide loss survivor and support group facilitator, Charlie has both navigated his own grief journey and guided countless others along theirs. He understands firsthand the importance of peer support and the healing that comes from talking with others who truly understand.

In this video, Charlie shares his grief journey that followed the death of his sister, Ann, who died by suicide the day before her 61st birthday. He offers practical resources and insights into what has helped survivors heal.

Helping loss survivors has become Charlie’s way of finding meaning after Ann’s death, transforming his own loss into a source of hope for others.

I’m not crazy. I’m not broken. I’m just a poor bereaved soul. And these people get it and they’re here with me.
