Secondary Wounds
Sometimes, survivors experience additional pain when others do not understand, let them down, or blame them. These additional "wounds" are very painful because they are already raw with grief. Has this happened to you? Would you like to share about it?

Guilt, Blame and Forgiveness
Guilt and Blame are quick to surface in the swirl of emotions following a suicide. As healing takes place, many survivors find that Forgiveness does not change the past, but it changes some of the pain of the past and unlocks a door to the future. What have you noticed about guilt, blame or forgiveness?

Accomplishments
Healing after suicide requires courage as well as hard work. We take ground inch by inch. This is a place to acknowledge accomplishments and achievements (large and small). Did you take a shower? Leave the house? Organize, complete or communicate something? What has been happening?

Inspiration
As survivors, we have diverse beliefs, backgrounds, cultures, and faith traditions. We are linked not only by the bond of tragic loss to suicide, but by our basic humanity as well. If there is something that has inspired you, empowered you or brought a smile to your face, you are welcome to share it here.
