There are many sites dedicated to suicide. Some are directed at the survivors of
loved ones. The grief following death by suicide is prolonged and very
complex. In our society, we tend to feel external pressure to return to normal
functioning much sooner than is realistic. There may also be feelings of stigma and
social detachment that go along with suicide. Survivors may try to understand why
this tragic loss has occurred. There is no logic, so applying reasoning fails to bring
about answers that make sense.
