Grief /Suicide Loss Blog
Though I tend to blog about all kinds of things, these post are specifically about anger, grief and coping after losing someone you love to suicide. Although its been over six years for me, I've only just begun to truly process losing my dad to suicide. Though, truth be told, I lost both of my parents to suicide: My father to the act and my mother to the consequences. It is my hope that by sharing my experience, someone else may feel a little less alone.
