Suicide Services At The Shafer Center For Crisis Intervention

SUICIDE IS A HARSH WORD that has devastating significance for those who have suffered a loss as the result of it.
TO THE SERVIVOR suicide means the death of one dearly loved,
A death that is sudden and often violent.
A death that is the result of a choice regardless of how futile, ambivalent, impulsive and unacceptable the survivor judges that choice to be.
THE GRIEF THAT FOLLOWS SUICIDE is extremly difficult. It is magnified, complicated, and isolating. The survivor must grieve not only the loss, but also the choice that caused the loss.
You are not alone. We understand. We Accept. We support.
