Founded in 1999 we aim to provide support principally to other parents bereaved by suicide, but anyone else trying to come to terms with a suicide loss is welcome to contact us as well. If you are specifically seeking support from someone who has personal experience of the loss by suicide of their partner please go to our contacts page.
We are not professional advisors or trained bereavement counsellors, but all those who help run the group or answer the support line have lost either a son or daughter to suicide.
Talking to someone who has been through the same traumatic experience is often beneficial. Meeting other mothers and fathers who have faced the aftermath of the suicide of their child sometime ago can show that you too, in your own time, can learn to cope and that the thoughts and feelings you are probably experiencing are both normal and common to us all.
Informal meetings, for those who have been bereaved by suicide, are held in Farnborough, Hampshire, in a friendly home environment.
In England every 2 hours somebody dies as a result of suicide. Most people who commit suicide are severely depressed. The majority of suicides now occur in young adult males. Suicide is the most common cause of death in men under 35. Suicide is the main cause of premature death in those suffering from mental illness.
If you are feeling suicidal and are looking for help then please go to the Contacts page.
If you have experienced a suicide bereavement then please look through the rest of our site.
For more information about our e-mail support scheme please e-mail us on bereavedbysuicide@ntlworld.com for details.
