Christ-Centered Support for Those Grieving the Loss of a Loved One From Suicide or Mental Illness

We are disciples of Jesus Christ who have experienced the trauma and grief of a loved one’s death by suicide or mental illness. Amid our devastating loss and broken hearts, we have received comfort, hope, and healing through Jesus Christ. We now seek to 

• bear one another’s burdens that they may be light, mourn with those who mourn, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort (Mosiah 18: 8-9) 

• provide a compassionate and faith-based approach to coping with traumatic grief

• help others navigate their intense grief, find hope, and access the rescuing grace of the Savior Jesus Christ

• provide a safe environment for sharing our deepest sorrows and, at times, the joy we feel, and the tender mercies and miracles unfolding around us

• prevent further deaths with postvention which are activities that reduce the risk of suicide for those who are left behind
