CBT‑Informed Support: Bereavement by Suicide

If you are in immediate danger or thinking of harming yourself, contact emergency services or local crisis resources now. This page is educational and not a substitute for care. See our Medical Disclaimer.

Considerations

  • Mixed emotions (grief, anger, guilt); allow complexity.
  • Meaning‑making with compassion; challenge self‑blame.
  • Routines and supportive contact to reduce isolation.

Journaling prompts (gentle)

  1. Feeling(s) I noticed today and one thing that helped.
  2. Statement to soften self‑blame with facts/compassion.
  3. Connection I made or plan to make.

Seek support groups/clinicians as desired; see How to Journal.
