abstract="The alarmingly increasing prevalence rate of suicide makes it a major public health concern worldwide. Nevertheless, suicidality is preventable and manageable given the continuous efforts to fully understand it. This grounded study examined the process of suicide recovery among a selection of Filipino youth aged 15 to 27. Twenty-five survivors of suicide attempts were purposively selected and went through in-depth interviews. Emerging categories were monitored until all new data fitted into existing categories and no new data surfaced from further theoretical sampling, indicating theoretical saturation. Theoretical triangulation aided in making the findings comprehensive. Peer debriefing and member validation were conscientiously employed to yield a substantive theory called the Inflorescence Model of Suicide Recovery. This model likened suicide recovery to the processes that a flowering plant goes through. It elucidates the phases of suicide recovery: (1) immersion: the acknowledgment of brokenness and vulnerabilities; (2) germination: the process of splitting off the seed coat of emotional pains; (3) emersion: the sprouting from the soil; (4) entrenchment: the process of rooting deeper; and (5) inflorescence: the flourishing and sustaining of suicide recovery. The Inflorescence Model of Suicide Recovery can contribute to the development of recovery-focused psychological intervention and management strategies for youths suffering from suicidality. © NAJP.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
