FRIENDS FOR SURVIVAL, INC.      

HELP AFTER A SUICIDE DEATH

A National Outreach Program for Survivors of Suicide Loss

Our Mission

Friends For Survival, Inc. is an organization of people who have been affected by a death caused by suicide. We are dedicated to providing a variety of peer support services that comfort those in grief, encourage healing and growth, foster the development of skills to cope with a loss and educate the entire community regarding the impact of suicide.

The loving outreach of Friends For Survival volunteers can bridge the gap between despair and renewed hope.
Those whose loss is recent can lean upon the shoulders of those who have made progress in the difficult task
of working through grief.

SUICIDE DEATH AND ITS IMPACT:

These are some of the feelings and reactions experienced by those who are left after a loved one dies by suicide.
Survivors are troubled by such feelings for longer than society generally recognizes.

Although each person's grief is personal and individual, similarities are shared with others who have experienced a
suicide loss. Many people, finding it difficult to talk to family and friends about the loss, experience feelings of
isolation and alienation. It is not unusual for survivors to feel completely alone unless contact is established with
others who share this commonality of experiences.
