I'm so glad you found Survivors Road2healing. I'm Louise, the founder. I'm also a survivor-mom. It's my deepest desire to help you, my fellow survivor, to find hope, learn ways to heal, and to make it to the other side of this debilitating pain. You can read my story by clicking the Suicide 'Survivor-Mom' Story.
If you're a suicide survivor, I have a heart-to-heart for you here: Survivor of Suicide Tips link. If you're someone hoping to help a survivor, please click here: Survivors Friend. I would also suggest you read What Makes a Death By Suicide So Different and my book. Both will help you understand better.
There's great information for those that are helping children Children Survivors, and there are a number of PDF files you can print out that will help all survivors Printouts. You can find information about support group meetings here: Meetings.
If you have questions about God and suicide, like where was God or did my loved one go to hell, please read God. If you're feeling desperate you can connect with other survivors and find help at the Help For Survivors link. We also have memorials, book referrals, poetry, information on BiPolar, ADD and a number of other topics related to suicide. Then go to the top of the page and take a minute to subscribe the Survivors of Suicide Newsletter that will be emailed to you bi-monthly with a lot of good information. We promise we will never spam you!!
Most importantly, we have wonderful Christian based online support groups full of survivors in different stages of healing. Come join us and let us walk with you through this painful time. Support
My book is now in print ~ I've been overwhelmed with the wonderful response I've received. My heart is to provide help for you in any way I can. I'll never forget that pain of being a new survivor! If you have graphic issues because you found them, please go read the sample page of my book. I used that excerpt just so I could help you a little bit with this horrendous aftermath of your loss.
And finally, please hold to the hope that healing can and will come with a good support system. It may seem impossible to you right now, but one day you'll even laugh again. I pray you find healing here and come back often to find new resources.
Be sure to read the Responsibility poem on the Printouts page. It will help a lot if you struggle with guilt. The pain of being left behind is not something we get over. It's something we must learn how to get through. I'm Louise, reminding you, be kind to you!
 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see
the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Ps 27:13 |
