Abstract

Surviving the death of person by suicide can be a human drama, evoking burdensome pain with life-altering and devastating effects on daily life (Jordan 2008; Schneider et al. 2011). Such experiences affect quality of life, various aspects of health and impact economic and productivity of a community (Mitchell et al. 2005). Loss of a loved one to suicide is considered a stressful event accompanied by an array of health risk responses, including stigma, anger, shame (e.g., Watson and Lee 1993), guilt (e.g., Van Dongen 1990; Watson and Lee 1993), isolation, rejection, abandonment and blame (Range 1998).
