Bereavement after suicide

This chapter discusses the central role of bereavement after suicide. Supporting people bereaved by suicide should be a key component of suicide prevention strategies. People bereaved by suicide may be at increased risk of suicidal behaviour themselves but are less likely to obtain support than other bereaved groups. There may be qualitative differences in the issues or grief themes which arise when someone is bereaved through suicide compared to those which arise after death from other causes. Clinicians are vulnerable to similar feelings as well as concerns about their professional competence. Information resources, psychological interventions, and support groups may be helpful for people bereaved by suicide.
