International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day
Suicide is not a foreign concept to most people. The vast majority of people on earth know of a loved one, friend, or someone in their community who succumbed to the stresses and challenges of life and resorted to suicide as a means of escape. These abrupt losses can be devastating to the survivors, and many have trouble coping, understanding the reasons, and getting some form of closure. This leads to many survivors blaming themselves and others around them, and in certain cases may lead some people to also end their own lives out of stress.
