After a Suicide Bereavement Support Group - Christchurch, NZ

I sit here with a friend who's partner committed suicide 4 months ago.  She started a search long ago and we have continued it this afternoon...looking for grief support for those who know someone who has committed suicide.

We cannot find one.  And the one that was in Christchurch stopped back in 2005.

We are wondering...are there others?  Are you (somehow finding this post) looking for a group like this?  Know someone who needs a group like this?

We would be happy to make room and start a group like this.  It would be comforting...a place to share your story and be understood.

Please email me - jamieussherATgmail.com for more details.

Much love.

  2. Hey friend! Refer your friend to hellogrief.org. It's an online support group with a group specific to suicide that she could join. I don't know much about the suicide group specifically, but the website in general has been a great resource over the years. In addition, (and again, don't know much about their "curriculum" per se) on griefshare.org you can sign up for a daily support email.

    Let me know if you need any other resources... I'd be happy to search and see what else I can find.
