Abstract

Grieving the loss of a loved one who died from suicide can be one of the most difficult and painful experiences one ever faces. While most survivors heal their wounds without any formal treatment, a substantial minority can benefit from informed interventions. By understanding the universal themes that suicide survivors grapple with doubt, guilt/responsibility, rejection/ perceived abandonment, stigma, and trauma symptoms, and also adequately screening for Complicated Grief, major depression, and PTSD, a clinician is equipped to provide targeted and personalized care for survivors. Therefore the importance of fully screening such individuals and using treatment guidelines to create an individualized treatment plan can be paramount in helping a person cope with this devastating loss.
