Grief is grief but grieving the death from suicide leaves you with in a far deeper hole; you’ll question every encounter, every memory if they were authentic and if it had any influence leading up to the tragic event. It can shake you to the core, hitting and staying at rock bottom for some time. So in the light of striving to save at least one soul, Lei Fernandez shares the 5 insights from processing losing a loved one from suicide.
