A suicide survivor or survivor of suicide is one of the family and friends of someone who has died by suicide.[1]
Given the social stigma associated with suicide, suicide survivors are often unable to cope with their loss and grief using normal support systems, and are "forced into a privatized and individualistic mode of grieving," making the healing process even more difficult.[2]
Estimates are that for every suicide, "there are seven to ten people intimately affected".[3]
