[Watch and Share New “Living with Suicide Loss” Videos]([link removed])

For those who have lost a loved one to suicide, one of the most impactful kinds of [support]([link removed]) can be hearing the personal reflections of other individuals who have experienced this complex type of loss. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s [“Living with Suicide Loss” video library]([link removed]) collects filmed accounts of suicide loss, enabling viewers to learn through the example of what has helped others, and recognize they are not alone. 

Now featuring additional videos filmed at AFSP’s Long-Term Survivors of Suicide Loss Summit, the collection contains powerful recollections, epiphanies and collected wisdom of how suicide loss survivors have navigated the pain of their loss, and processed difficult feelings of grief. In these new loss-themed videos, you’ll hear about:

- the heartfelt conversation one man imagined with his lost son that helped him work through his feelings of anger, and reclaim a sense of peace
- how the effects of trauma and cultural and religious stigma may affect healing if unaddressed
- how one family determined how much they would say, and who they would tell, about the death of their loved one
- the role community, connection, and volunteering can play in healing
- the powerful sentence a man’s therapist spoke after the death of his son that helped him process his pain
- a unique “Ceremony of Tears” held in support of loss and prevention in a tribal community
- what it was like for a young boy in the 1970s to lose his father at a young age
- the unique perspective of a physician who lost her physician husband to suicide
- the fears a parent had for her children following the loss of another parent
- the effect of stigma on how people approached a loss survivor, and where she found support

Together, these videos create a unique tapestry of understanding that will help encourage a culture of awareness and understanding, and aid the healing process of individuals who have experienced this difficult type of loss. We encourage you to watch and share these videos throughout your own community and networks, and support survivors of suicide loss everywhere.
