Our Side of Suicide offers hope, inspiration and support to those who have lost a loved one to suicide. We encourage sharing and discussion at your level of comfort.
Seeking Help or Advice?
We are survivors sharing our stories and do our best to explain what has worked for us. We hope that you find comfort and connection by reading and responding to each others’ comments here and on our social media channels. We are not a crisis hotline or resource and cannot give therapy or personal advice within the blog comments or via email, as much as we want to be able to help each and every reader. What we commonly recommend to those who inquire is that you try to find a local therapist who specializes in suicide loss, traumatic/complicated loss or grief. There are also many local support groups for survivors of suicide, which can be found through the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention website. If you yourself are in crisis and need to talk with someone, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline immediately at 1-800-273-TALK.
Speaking Opportunities and Engagements
We are frequently asked for interviews or to speak about our experiences as survivors and are interested in all fitting opportunities. Please contact us to coordinate in-person or remote telephone, broadcast, online/Skype and academic speaking engagements.
