Suicide bereavement

The loss of a loved one through sudden unexplained death and suicide is a uniquely devastating circumstance.

It can create a particularly complex set of feelings in those left behind and leave us with unanswered questions which are hard to resolve.

Specialist support is available to people who have been bereaved and need support and guidance during this period of time.
