Today is International Survivors of Suicide Loss Day. Today is about coming together and supporting the survivors that have lost loved ones. For many survivors, the grief and trauma surrounding their loss can be complicated by stigma, shame, and ignorance. May we remember today and everyday that showing our support and love to those that have lost a loved one to suicide is a critical piece of suicide prevention. Today we remember the thousands left behind to mourn the loss of a loved one to suicide and make a commitment to continue working on suicide prevention efforts across the state.
