AFSP TO HOLD CONFERENCE FOR LONG-TERM SUICIDE LOSS SURVIVORS

2/20/2016

0 Comments

 
In the past, I haven't used Grief After Suicide blog posts to announce upcoming events, but a dear colleague of mine who works for the American Foundation of Suicide Prevention asked me to let suicide loss survivors know about this first-ever national conference, and I'm glad to do so.

The "Our Journey Continues" conference -- for suicide bereaved people who have experienced significant healing since the time of their loss -- will be in Chicago from Sep. 9 through Sep. 11, and you can learn more about it here.

READERS INVITED TO SUGGEST STORIES FOR 'GRIEF AFTER SUICIDE'

1/27/2014

0 Comments

 
There is now a way for readers to suggest stories they'd like to see covered in posts on Grief after Suicide. To make a suggestion, it takes only a moment to complete this submission form, which can also be accessed from the "Suggest a Story" tab at the top of the website.

The form asks for the title and Internet address of the story you'd like to see shared, and if it is accepted, a short post will be written about the story and published on Grief after Suicide. Suggested stories need to be of interest to survivors of suicide loss, of course. Please avoid recommending a story about a recent suicide, and also steer clear of any that are marketing products or services (or that are proselytizing).

Here are examples of the kinds of stories that are of interest:
  • This story from Medium, an online magazine, was shared in this post on Grief after Suicide
  • This Atlantic story was shared in this post.
  • This story from a blog on Psychology Today was shared in this post.
There is also an interest in stories for Grief after Suicide's "Survivor Outlook" feature, which highlights quoted remarks from survivors of suicide loss. Here's an example of "Survivor Outlook," which illustrates the types of stories and quotes that are featured.

2/12/2012

0 Comments

 
I have been working with people bereaved by suicide since 1999, and I started Unified Community Solutions in 2001 as an independent consultancy specializing in peer grief support and suicide prevention project management and advocacy. "Personal Grief Coach" is an extension of the dozen of years of experience I've had with those endeavors. I am now beginning to create publicly accessible online connections with interested people and organizations through 
  • this blog, located at www.personalgriefcoach.info; 
  • the "Grief after Suicide" website (click on the tab in the navigation menu, at left, or go to home.personalgriefcoach.com/welcome); and
  • a Facebook page "Grief after Suicide" at on.fb.me/griefaftersuicide.
To learn a little bit more about me, please go to the About Page of Suicide Grief News and Comment, a blog I edited and published from 2008 to 2010, and where you can still read a thread of posts about grief after suicide.
