We've spent the majority of our podcast covering suicide prevention. This week, we're focusing on mourning the loss of someone to suicide. Particularly, we're looking at feelings of grief. We have a special guest with us this week, Whitcomb Terpening - Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor. Grief is a normal part of mourning any death. However, when someone dies of suicide, grief may be complicated by feelings of guilt, responsibility, anger, or shame. Society frowns on discussing suicide. This may leave those who are already grieving a suicide even more isolated. Additionally, there is often a faulty idea of a "timeline" by which we should be done grieving.
