TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Two perspectives on the needs of individuals bereaved by suicide JO - Death studies A1 - Gall, Terry Lynn A1 - Henneberry, Jesse A1 - Eyre, Melissa SP - 430 EP - 437 VL - 38 IS - 7 N2 - To qualitatively explore the needs of suicidally bereaved individuals, researchers interviewed 11 suicide bereaved individuals and 4 mental health workers. Common themes of bereaved persons included the suicide grief experience, coping, interpersonal domain, struggle with meaning, self-reflection, and moving forward. Mental health workers emphasized the nature of the helping relationship, the need to emotionally process the grief, the centrality of meaning making, importance of support groups, and the role of individual counseling. These 2 perspectives informed "best practices" for postvention (e.g., understanding the need for meaning-making while recognizing when to move on).
