I lost my husband to suicide 7 months ago and moved to this area to get a fresh start. I am realizing moving doesn’t make it better. Would like to connect with others who have lost a loved one to suicide

so sorry for what you are going through. I haven't been in your shoes but I hope you can find some nice people here and slowly heal.

I am sorry to hear of your struggle. I as well, am not aware of any support group or I would certainly direct you to it. I certainly hope there is one locally for you. Maybe by me commenting, it can keep your question near the top of the discussion list and someone who has knowledge will see it.  
 
Even though I have no experience, I want you to know that if you ever need a listening ear, I am willing to be that for you. If you know how to do this through eBrandon, please feel free to pm me anytime. I'd love to help you if I can and talking about your struggles with someone not directly connected to the situation can be a very important part of the healing process.

If you are on Facebook, check out Brandon and Area Suicide Bereavement Support Group. If not, you can call Elan Jury who facilitates it. (204) 573-7878.
